About small, or not-highly-rated shows in general: September 3 2005, 3:57 PM


You MUST get there when the show opens--or everything good will be picked over. Stands to reason, no? If you don't get off work till 5 or 6, it's still worth getting there before the show closes the first day, if you can make it.

BCD, this is the second show in a row you've been to where you said there was "nothing." Mark M's and Tri Star--you gotta get there when the doors open, and then you'll find some good stuff--not a heap, but some.


Julie,this show was small and it was terrible.You could barely beg someone to find something interesting or desirable to sell you as other's have stated.
This very same show ten years ago was much,much bigger.The entire downstairs area was filled with modern junk and supplies.I noticed Richard was down there for all of 2 minutes before he went back upstairs! I found a N-36 for $110 with no creasing and no paper loss.Jay would love it! Cornell looked through the guys book before I did and missed it! Then told the guy it was worth more as I was asking the seller if the price listed was what I had to pay! ( I had just purchased some N-165's from him minutes earlier) but besides these non-baseball cards,you couldn't find hardly anything most on this board would have wanted. Bill Goodwin had a spotted tie in about ex/mt I noticed but knew it was not worth asking him how much he wanted for it as he would have sold it at the National already~Quality Vintage cards are just getting very difficult to find now.
