Dallas Card Show

[sb1]

The reason you see the shiny is that is what they promote. They use the you tubers to pack the people and the dealers in. Probably 80% of the show is new with the rest the more generic 1950's/60's stars etc.

I bring a nice selection of scarce pre-war vintage to 1970's material in all sports and non-sports.

For the January show I will also have a few tables available in the starlight room in the block that we use. If a Net54er would like to set up shoot me a PM

And the best (or worst) part of being in Scott's "pod" is you will be directly across from our COMC table/booth. If that does not scare you, I'd love to see more Net 54 people in the room. The Starlight room is like an old-time card show and there is some but comparatively less of the happy shiny cards so there is that

I walk past the 80% (could be a bit higher, I think) with a glaze over my eyes, like they are selling some NFT or something.

FYI, good deals can be had on the last day at shows. The guy had 50 bucks on the Mays, above. I had no idea on pricing, honestly. I offered him 35 and he countered at 40. I held my ground and he said, ok, last day it's yours ... Hard negotiations right there! And, after looking at online sales, it was actually a pretty darned good deal LOL Topps cards here I come!

When I used to go to the Coral Square Mall shows (Coral Springs, Florida) in the 1990s, the last day (Sunday) was the day to go. I think I paid either $70 or $75 for my 1958 Mantle, after negotiations. Everyone was packing up to go home, and more willing to deal.
