john - completely get it. I do have a 7 year old son, but he wasnt there - so I dont want to take credit for someone else’s boy haha.

And yes - orlando bought the Armando Marsans and e90-1 George Mullin from me.

I may take more of a leadership role for this show and try to rectify the completely accurate portrayal of south florida sports shows. I will be talking with them soon about various things.

Has anyone been to any of the Port St. lucie shows?

Nate: Hope you did well over the weekend.

I have been to the Port St. Lucie show a couple of times. It's a bit more tame than the wild west atmosphere of the further south card shows. Draws a so-so crowd, Pokemon was probably the biggest thing that I saw being coveted there.

Although not huge, the 3X a year or so card shows at The Villages are probably some of the most balanced in FL, with a pretty fair number of vintage dealers. Not a lot of 4 or 5 figure cards, but some good bargains to be had. For those that don't know, this is a 55+ community and very few vendors from outside are able to set up so it's primarily seniors driven from both a buyer and seller standpoint, thus, the greater emphasis on vintage as you would imagine. The monthly Orlando (really Apopka) card show has a good mix of vintage and modern, the downside is that the vintage there is primarily 3 or 4 dealers that take 3-4 tables each and are there every single show for many years now. Inventory probably changes somewhat over time but seems pretty consistent to me. These guys are all experts in their field so not a lot of bargains to be had here as a buyer although prices tend to be fair, not exorbitant.

I’ve been to a couple of the Apopka shows in the past. I’ll probably go again this winter when I get back to Florida. The last show that I attended last winter was ok with about a fifty-fifty split of vintage versus modern. I agree that for the most part the prices are reasonable. My son found a couple of great bargains on vintage.
