Holy cow, there was actually a show out here today!!! Finally got to relish in the redolent air of musty old cardboard. The 'problem' was it was almost entirely new, shiny stuff (and all of those tables were pretty busy, which is nice), with really only a pair of vintage guys. One of them had what I refer to as a museum curator type table. Every single price on his slabs was just flat out ridiculous (think Dean's on steroids), so you just knew all of his cards were for display purposes only.
The other guy had a beautiful run of 1966 high numbers, and he was all too happy to negotiate, because the lack of a National this year has really f*cked him on the baseball card selling front (his words). I took that info to work out a sweet price for a bunch of stuff from his table, including a 1962 Lou Brock rookie card upgrade, a very decent 1966 Topps high number #591 Grant Jackson/Bart Shirley RC, the lovely Mr. Rose, plus a beautiful but O/C Choo Choo and other pretty sharp '66 highs...
