I arrived at the show this morning at 10am. The number of dealer tables was about comparable to the Spring show last year less maybe 5-7. The November show was almost twice as large. Overall, I was very disappointed with what the dealers were offering. A quarter of the tables were reserved for auction houses, another quarter to a third were reserved for the shiny stuff, and the remaining balance was a collection of uninteresting and overpriced prewar cards and memorabilia. Historically, I've bought far more prewar memorabilia than cards at the Shriners. But there was very little offered here that caught my attention.
I was able to briefly catch up with Scott and Steve on my way out. I couldn't make the lunch since I'm still a little sick. Sorry guys! Hope you all had fun and maybe more luck than I had!!!
