The Hobby is Alive and Well
... in New Jersey as well!
On Saturday I went to a small show (about 65 tables) in Woodbridge at a Hampton Inn... I went with my 2 nephews. There was mostly new shiny stuff with some vintage mixed in. The only prizes I walked off with was some graded Pokemon cards for my (13-year old) Daughter, nothing for me...
On Sunday, I followed that up at the same venue (also about 65 tables) with an exclusively Pokemon Show, this time with my Daughter. That show was SO crowded that I couldn't even get to the front of many tables. I spent about an hour, then we went to lunch at a Long Horn (attached to the hotel), hoping it would get better; then went back to the show, and things did not change. I just waved to a couple of dealers that I met the day before (that had set up then) as I could not get close enough to their tables and my Daughter got impatient in waiting... so, other then the one PSA 10 card I did purchase for her, we purchased an additonal box and we were off our merry way...
Bottom line... The "Card" Market is alive and well in many spots!!!
