The National - Dealer Wives

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Once you bring it to someone's attention, regardless of gender, the gloves are off. I can't beg someone to not sell me a card. As a dealer who's made mistakes, often I honor my mistake anyway out of appreciation for someone's honesty.

The only other forum I belong to is a poker forum and through the years the guys have gradually learned that their misogyny costs them in the long run as slowly but surely female poker players have put them in their place. Would love to see this evolution in the sports collectibles world.

I play a lot of poker as well. The best night I ever had playing was the night my wife and I sat down at a table full of men at one of our many Indian gambling establishments. I was out in an hour. She won enough to pay for our trip! It was b e a u t i f u l ! !

And I think just because you're a card dealer, it doesn't automatically make you an expert at customer relations. Card shows are like the wild west. There's no rules, really. I wouldn't have lost sleep over dealer #3 either. Sorry.

I wouldn't lose sleep over #3 either. The dealer is responsible for pricing cards and letting his wife or whoever know what those prices are. I can see if there is a box full of commons and you find a random Musial that maybe another collector stuck it in there by mistake. In that case I may point it out.

I ran across a dealer recently selling some '33 Goudeys and they weren't priced. I asked about them and he said he was too lazy to look them up, so his price was $5 a piece. I'll take that deal all day long for mid-grade Goudey commons, no need for me to educate him
