It's very common for stamp shows, which often have an actual "show" portion with competetive displays.


I think the card hobby in general is doing just fine, although my personal card morale is iffy right now. (I'm still really into cards, but aging, and the kids really don't even like sports...Plus the pricing is in one of the cycles where It's hard to adjust to commons on some sets now being double what they were a short time ago. You'd think I could handle it easier, having been through it several times, but no.

Could be worse though, the international stamp expo scheduled for 2026 in Boston supposedly just opened up to having dealers with both stamps and coins.
