There used to be several regular mall shows in the Houston area. I made lots of them as a customer and a few as a 'dealer' if you can call selling some old Astros scorecards and a few cards being a dealer. My lasting memory of mall shows is wandering around a very sparsely attended one early on a Saturday morning in Almeda Mall in southeast Houston. Sitting at a small table by himself, waiting to sign for anyone who recognized him was Bob Feller. I think he was charging five bucks. A pretty weird scene for me as I was used to always seeing someone 'handling' signing requests for show guests but he was alone. For my $5(?) I got a signed postcard and a few minutes of baseball talk with a Hall of Fame pitcher.
