...at that Holiday Inn show during my high school years back in the late 80s!!! Good to hear it still exists...cut my teeth on plenty of wax purchases there, and developed my "show game" -where I would enter the show with $25 cash to spend, plus about the same in cards to trade, and see if I could walk out with more than $50 worth of cards & cash, combined. The first time I played it, I absolutely killed it, flipping Mattingly rookies and similar, but then the law of averages eventually caught up to me...
have fun during your visit.
