Clean Sweep Auctions show in KC. Any thoughts?

Made the mistake of going to this last year. It wasn't a "show" it was two guys in a conference room at that hotel with some of their auction items in cases waiting around for people to bring in stuff to appraise and buy / get consigned to future auctions.

Unless this has changed its not really worth it in my opinion.

Well I went and sadly this was the truth. Picked up a catalog. BTW, their prices are quite fair. In my opinion at least. Waste of a drive across town. They did have a few cards for sale and I stress few. A 1951 Mantle that was as miscut as I have seen, a few 1952 Topps and a stack of T206, but that was about it. Was humorous to see an older lady bring in 2 1955(I think) Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays. I heard the appraiser say, Ma'am, I think these have seen water at some point. She obviously thought they were worth thousands. Bummer for her but humorous for me to listen to.
