I was in Shreveport yesterday to take two of my long-term employees out for a retirement celebration, so I bunked down in Longview and hit the show today. I managed to do well on my set builds, picking up 8 of the remaining 18 I needed to finish 1965 (including decent deals on the Niekro RC, Banks, and Uecker) and about 70 of the 240 odd cards I still need for my 1969 set.
I only was in the main room, as I didn't even know the Starlight Room existed. It was crowded, but less so than the last time I was there which was, if memory serves, March of last year. It would have been a perfect day if there wasn't some chucklehead driving 30mph on I-35. I was boxed in and had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting him, which caused a brake line to either pop loose or split. I had to limp home from Ardmore with very little braking power.
