On the other hand, it was nice to see the response and hopefully, this will lead to bigger shows in the near future with more dealers selling vintage non-slabbed singles. Sorry, I had to throw that in.

Upgrading the following sets: 1953 Bowman Color and Topps Baseball card sets for 1971, 1972, 1974, and 1975.
Attempting to complete the 1970 and 1973 Topps Baseball card sets in very good to excellent condition overall.

I don't think there will be a lot of commons for sets at these shows; the real estate is just too costly. It cost $500 for a single 6' table and there was no space for a back-up table or even an easel (I had a great Hank Aaron poster that I couldn't display. We (dealers) were literally tripping all over each other all week long because the space between tables was the dead minimum that the fire marshal would allow. I had some older commons that I left home because I just didn't see how I could get them out there.
