I spent less than 5 minutes down there before realizing there was not much of interest to me. 99% cards at this one. As mentioned, a good amount of vintage. Very little memorabilia.

I would think that it's more of a marketing strategy. That said, compared to other White Plains shows throughout the year, they only open the basement up for this show.
