Outside of being armed with a Beckett Monthly, past generations of kids were at the mercy of dealers when their parents dropped them off at the card shop with $20. Now they know more than many of the sellers and they're sitting on legit bankrolls. There's just a whole different level of commerce going on now.
You nailed it...true statement.

You guys are aware that there are men who friend children for less than good reasons, right? I could direct you to some institutions that have been besigned by men taking improper sexual interest in young people.

I don't know how this turned into a child molestation thread, but pretty sure that isn't happening in the lobby of the Rosemont Hyatt.

While it is a bit overwhelming, the trade nights are very safe as far as I can tell(they tend to look out for each other) and I wouldn't worry about the 12-14 year olds being taken advantage of, those that attend and set up are very, very astute on what they are dealing with. It is usually the casual adult sellers that might not know what they have, and make the mistakes..
