I sold my inventory on the second day and spent the last several days buying from walk ups and chatting with OBC members and a few Net 54 members.

Bob,

Is this standard for you selling everything? Just curious but did you not bring a lot of stuff or was your stuff that good that a smart buyer offered you enough? I find that fascinating that you paid for the entire show and you were "out" on day 2!
Very cool indeed and very liberating. Did you wish you had maybe brought more?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

No, I brought enough. It was a lot of fun to see what I could buy from walk ups. A couple of cards that I got were a Tom Landry Rookie and a Bob Gibson rookie perfectly centered and 7.5. Picked up some nice commons as well, and most of the stuff I bought was very nice and in the mid fifties, Koufax, Jackie, Aaron, Snider, Berra, Mantle, Maris, Clemente, Mays, and many others.

I get tired of my inventory at times and have done this six times, four at the national or Sun Times Fanatics show. There is plenty of new stuff to pick up, and my customers are always waiting to see what I pick up next. Old inventory is dead inventory as far as I am concerned.

Same here Mike, I've already paid so I am committed to doing the show. Hope to pick up a lot of stuff for this one, and most likely won't sell out again till I decide to hang it up for good. My legs tell me that time is not far off.
