White Plains NY Card show this weekend

[brass_rat]

I dropped by the show on Saturday afternoon. I hadn't been to a show in over 10 years, but I thought it might be fun. Prices were laughable, yes, but I enjoyed walking around the room just checking everything out. I dropped off a few cards for grading and went on my way...

In a way, card shows are like stock exchange floors -- in the old days, they were fun, had lots of camaraderie and all of the trading volume. Today, however, everything moves much faster in both venues, most trading occurs electronically, and the information gap (between all participants) isn't nearly as large as it used to be. Volume has moved off of exchange floors, as well as away from card shows...

I think someone pointed out that the tables were close together...maybe a little too close -- a few times I passed individuals that may not have had a shower in a few days...certainly one of the things about card shows that I didn't miss.
