Another table probably had 200 raw T206s, but prices were a bit high for the condition. I flipped through a binder of '33 Goudeys, but prices were unreasonably high in my opinion, so I passed on everything at his table.

Hey Donny, that was me you bought from. Nice to meet you.
Can't speak for all dealers but I know that when I set up, I'm not exactly looking to sell everything I bring and I price out my stuff correspondingly (although some dealers, much like some eBay sellers, I truly wonder if they sell anything at the prices they're asking). But for the right price, anything is for sale. You happened to buy things that I had priced to sell. I don't really consider myself a dealer, any money I make goes back in to my collection.
Overall it was a good show and it was fun to actually be at a card show after 6 months off. I sold some things and got a decent deal on a bat on Cobb (see t206 b/s/t).
