Got him trained to see the Red Borders. Just send him around the room and he will find all the good booths

I took my daughter (12) to the Philly show last weekend. SO much more fun collecting with her. Of course her favorite item was Al's business card from LOTG ..Luckily she is easily amused (saves me money). Seriously she is really starting to get into it. We are building the T51 Murad together and were able to get 25 decent cards from a bargain bin at the show.
