All the graders are there so that is helpful if that's your goal, also several auction houses displaying their goodies.

Had a good conversation with Bill, and enjoyed getting to hold and look closely at the Collins-McCarthy find from Mile High. Seeing their offering, as well as that of Memory Lane was probably the highlight of the show for me.

As usual though, I was disappointed that I couldn't find anything to buy when I walked in ready to spend, spend, spend.

Is it hard to buy because there is not a good selection or is it dealers with price points above market?

Well pick up wise, today earned me no new cards.

It was a pleasure to meet all of those who I did. Some great people out there. Thanks once again and I hope to see you all soon

Traded a few T206 commons for a T205 Matty that I've wanted for a while. Other than that, not much selection for the T card collector.

On a side note, I went to the PSA table to submit 2 SGC cards for bump/crossover, 2 PSA for review/bump and 1 raw card for grading. I had to fill out 3 different invoices because it was 3 different service levels. OK. A little annoying but no problem. When I asked about combining the return shipping into one order, completely understanding that they would be returned at the estimated turnaround time of the longest service, I was told that they could not do that due to "limited space" at the grading facility. What a joke.

Wow this made me cranky, I just dropped $60 on a Mike Witt signed ball with the PG inscription, and he is signing for $40... FML

Trust me you are better off that way - just ask Dan McKee

I did the National 2 weeks ago which was outstanding for dealers and collectors---back to Portland Maine now in the card shop---I had a customer come in today from Conn.---He was at the White Plains show and said very few collecters walking around thur.---Loaded with dealers--needless to say some with high prices---but I thought this show would suffer after the National. Anyway hope it picks up for everyone. Don
