Sure Aaron..I think this might be the same show that I attended last year at the Cow Palace - big show with mainly modern cards, a little vintage, but nearly all nongraded. I didn't buy anything except some Smurf cards for my lady.

Assuming that I can't tell real from fake, even in person, is there any reason to trust a dealer at a big show like this any more than a random ebay seller that his or her vintage cards are real and unaltered? For example, at the show last year a dealer had a stack of T204 cards but I really can't tell a reprint from a real one. There were no reputable grading companies there to check with either (I think mintgrading was there).
