BTW, I set up in at a show in Milwaukee on the 25th and we had, at most, 20 customers come through the door. I was expecting a big crowd, but it didn't happen.

Surprising. There have been big crowds at shows in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. Not National big, but way better than pre pandemic crowds.

Been big crowds at many of the Florida shows too. Of course, down here it’s a free for all and anything goes.

I'm guessing a lot of the new smaller shows that are popping up will NOT have vintage baseball cards, because the "shiny" stuff is what is popular these days.

I'm actually looking for one of those "new smaller shows that are popping up" to set up a table at. Again, something close to me. If it turns out well, I could become the "vintage guy" at that show every month.

No there is not much vintage. Maybe someone with vintage may do well since they might be the only one or one of a few.

That's what we always think but it rarely happens.
