I've been going to the White Plains shows since they were the Gloria Rothstein shows. A guy there had a table with a set of 52 Topps in binders on it. There was one binder that was the expensive binder and another that was $20 a card.
He stepped away and had his friend watch his table for him. I asked to see the $20 binder of cards. His friend handed me the expensive one by mistake. I picked out an Eddie Mathews and Bill Dickey and was just about to hand him my $40 when some nosy jerk next to me said "You're selling that Mathews for $20?"
The guy pulled out his guide and swifty took the cards back from me. I'm sure his friend was happy.
Oh, and before I get accused of fleecing, I was 9 or 10 at the time and only realized how much the cards were worth after the fact.
