[LuckyLarry]

Hi Larrie six OBC members (including myself) will be there!

[polakoff]

I'll be set up there too! I'm no Larrie Dean, but come see me anyway!

[campyfan39]

I am going as well. Is there a time the rest of you are going? Would love to meet up with some local board members.

I always enjoy this show. Im doing my usual overnight trip and going bright and early Sunday morning. I like Raleigh its like a cleaner, less dangerous Richmond

[tschock]

Was there earlier today (Friday) and going back tomorrow. I'll have my Net54 golden Cy Young shirt on, so if you see it, say hi. Or run away. Whichever you prefer.

[Bliggity]

I'll be there today from about 12-3. Red checkered shirt and I'll probably be carrying a black backpack.

How is the show guys? Thinking about coming down sometime tomorrow looking for Mantle if anyone has any?

[Gradedcardman]

Good selection of Mantles with a couple of dealers. Otherwise the show is about 3/4 full.

sweet! Hopefully prices are somewhat reasonable.

[ccre]

Definitely lots of Mantles!

[bobbyw8469]

Will be there tomorrow? How are things?? Same old, same old?

[Bliggity]

Definitely a lot to see today. A couple of the regular prewar guys aren't there this weekend, but Larrie has it covered. I ran into Taylor at Dave's table - was great to meet you guys. I didn't pick up anything major, but did get a bunch of nice ~EX '53 Bowmans to reach 59/224 for my set (I may have pulled the 12 best-centered ones in the entire room, man that set can be a mess sometimes). Looking forward to the next one.

[bobbyw8469]

How much were those 1953 Bowman Color commons going for?

[Bliggity]

I was buying commons for about $20-22 on average - those were about EX condition with good centering/register and minimal snow/PDs. Some were high-numbers. A couple of the minor stars were more in the $35 range, and I also picked up a couple for less. One of the dealers was coming down about half off his sticker price; the other started with a lower sticker and came down about 25%.

I've bought VG/VG-EX commons at the show anywhere from about $3 to $15 before.

[polakoff]

Nice to meet Dan and Taylor yesterday!

[bobbyw8469]

Who is going today?

[Gradedcardman]

Looks like your alone today !! I spent 1.5 hours there yesterday and that was plenty. Did not have the patience to go through Paper Boys stuff

Paper Boy was there but I didn't even speak to him today. Just wasn't in the mood. My financial situation had a minor hiccup revealed to me last night. I am going to have to push more .99 cent auctions than I want to.
