In looking back on the "good old days", to me they were the good old days. At the mall shows back then, as a buyer I fealt like I was the one with the upper hand. I would see something I wanted, and made an offer. You could negotiate. If someone was unwilling to dicker, I would walk away and move on. Really, really good deals could be made, and more often than not, were. It's pretty clear with the way cards are priced today that I would not have a great many of the great cards I have if not for the mall shows back in the "good old days".
