I ended up attending for a couple hours on Saturday. I didn't pre buy a ticket so had to wait approx 30 minutes in line. Once inside, the room was pretty packed. Show could have been set up in a bigger room. It was chilly outside but all the bodies jammed together made for a hot and sweaty environment amongst the rows and tables. I did meet a couple guys in line who brought their childhood cards to sell. You know the guys who still have cards in screw down holders. There's still a lot of cards out there in the wild waiting to be discovered.

And if you didn't already know, the Pokemon craze is real. 75% of the show was Pokemon dealers and collectors. Which to be honest at least for the collector part is a nice change from old dudes without deodorant coughing on you while reaching for the $1 boxes. (There were actually quite a few female pokemon collectors buying and selling - shocking right?!)

Had a nice chat with Bobby at VCP (Hi Bobby!) and saw Adam for a brief minute. Made a couple laps, sold a couple cards to a dealer and called it a day. Always fun to be at a show.
