Check out Monster Cards (Tony) Table #s 216/220... I have dealt with him at the local show here in St. Louis. One of the good ones!

Thanks,

I have more than 60 boxes of raw baseball cards from the 50's and 60's. Each card is individually sleeved and priced in numerical order. The conditions range from good to near mint. I, All Marty's Stuff, will be in booth 1813.

I'll vouch for Marty, although he may consider my endorsement to be worse than no endorsement at all.

Three is no shortage of cards from the 50's and 60s (unless you mean the 1860s). Don't buy anything for the first half of the time you are at the show. Just compare prices. Take a notebook so you remember who had what and at what price. Hopefully, you will then know the market, and in the second half of the day go back to the best sellers and negotiate. On that kind of stuff, unless it is really high grade or really scarce, bid no more than 75% of their asking price as a starting point.

so don't listen to anything he says (Except for his opinion of Marty, which is fine)--



PS: (I hope you can tell from this post that Todd and I are old friends...)

Pick up a free National program when you arrive near the show entrance. Inside the program, there is usually a map of the floor layout and all the booth numbers. This will help you remember tables with nice cards you are interested in buying and still be able to shop around and go back to those booths if you decide to buy more or feel the deals were better.
