I'd say about 40-60 vintage to modern. Small amount of football. Really was a great deal of vintage cards.

I am largely into memorabilia these days and there was some. I find shows are just awful to try to buy memorabilia. Prices are just insane. As one example, someone had a nice piece of hotel stationary signed by Ruth and the asking price was like $20,000. Photos at $9500 that I know would be lucky to get $2000 at a good auction. A Jackie Exhibits I recently bought last year on ebay for $595 was marked $1500. I realize it's harder to price memorabilia than cards, but for most of it I looked and didn't even bother engaging. I don't know if the sellers don't know what a decent opening price is or they are just waiting for Daddy Warbucks to arrive at a show knowing nothing and buying it.

Some nice eye candy as always from Heritage, Mile High and Memory lane.

Only a few people masking but saw one guy sitting on a chair along the back wall coughing like he was on death's door. Scary bad coughing. People were literally running to get away from him. Very sick man with Covid or worse. Bizarre that someone that sick would arrive in a crowded public space.

Didnt notice any AC issue. By time I left there was a significant line to get in. Like all shows, buy a ticket on line before you go.

Parking lot very crowded. Not sure where you go once the lot is full. And it will be full.

Apparently Josh Donaldson was walking around looking at basketball cards.

Great recap thanks

And I understand Josh looking a basketball cards.
He is thinking that is the only size ball he could hit
