Not much has changed, unfortunately, and my perception is that people care even less.

1) There Was a pretty good crowd all 3 days. Many more lookers than buyers at my table. That said I still had what I would call a good show though down from "the Covid" shows. I heard mixed reviews from other dealers. More "slower sales than usual", but some (like the dealer next to me - who I saw was very busy the whole show) who said they had a great show.

2) The bottom appears to be falling out of the ultra modern market with some rare exceptions, but still seem to be many buyers and sellers at lower levels. While there is some price weakening and a need to negotiate a bit more than the past 2 years on more common vintage cards, the low supply, high eye appeal and generally higher grade stuff is holding its own so far.

There is a lot of low and middle end stuff being offered - very little really great quality stuff.


Great to meet, Jim, Jason, Alan, Ed and a couple of other Net 54 folks whose names elude me right now. Great to be set up across the aisle from Ed and Dan!
