I wonder if it is only a matter of time before those dealers, who use wives or girlfriends as an enticement to visit their booths, go all in and have pole dancers performing on-site. I can envisage a scenario whereby the girls finish their shift and are looking for a gratuity. They are not looking for dirty Washingtons or abused Lincolns they want your high grade cards. Pity poor Fred, who came to the show with the intent of having his super nice '57 Brooks Robby graded, a Xmas present from his wife and now somewhat aroused, slipping his prized card into the generous cleavage about 2" from his nose. I can image the discussion when he got home:
Ethel - " Well, I hope you dropped off Brooksie for grading."
Fred, - "Yes, my little sugar plum at PSA". "Should be ready in about a month."
Ethel - " That's good". "I'm worried about that little nick in the upper left corner." "You know, I wiped out about all my savings to get you that card and i sure hope it gets a high grade.
Fred - Arghhhh (quietly)
Yodes, everything we talk about here on Net54 gets immediately out into the collecting 'community,' as we all have seen.
Here's hoping the next time I'm sitting on the floor eating like an animal, because the venue had no lunch seating, I'll be able to gaze at bodacious dealer-adjacent 'entertainers' as I scarf down my overpriced gruel!!
