[Huck]

Saw far more new stuff than vintage. There were some different vendors as well. A cut the cable cord booth. (only one lifetime payment!) A guy near the autograph area sat at a lone table and was drawing/sketching, no sign, nothing. I could not figure out what the table closest to the autograph area was even selling. There must have been at least 3-4 authentication booths. Very little memorabilia (basically Mendy's). The pennant guy returned. One vendor, nothing but hockey cards. I was actually surprised at the amount of raw cards in cases. The vintage tables were mixed, (1) all graded (2) nothing graded and (3) a bit of both. Quite a bit of psa 6 and below in the cases. I don't think the show was as crowded today (Sunday). I could not say whether raw out drew graded or vice versa. I no longer buy raw. I am not knocking those that like raw, to each his own. Back in the 90's I purchased a 70 and 71 Clemente. Nice looking cards. Awhile back I piggybacked on one of Bobby's submissions. One card came back as "altered". I would have guessed it was the 71 but it was the 70. I can't say that the dealer knew the card was altered and decades later there is no recourse. If I am dropping iron on vintage, it is going to be graded.
