Philly Show this weekend....see you there ?

[glynparson]

The show is still way more a vintage show then a modern one when going by dealer inventories. The problem for buyers is that many of them still have cards priced high for 2005-8 when the market was hot. Yet alone now for a down market. I saw some items one can routinely pick up on eBay for 15-30 dollars on dealers tables with prices like 150-250. They would of course be complaining about how horrible the show was blah blah and I'd think No wonder your prices are nuts. Heck the guy set up diagonally behind me had a number of items from a recent local auction and had the items priced upto 10-20 times what he paid. Another guy complaining of no sales. I know the markets down so I brought cheap stuff low grade beaters etc. Cheap graded cards and I missed what I wanted to make to call it a real good show by $20. Some of these guys are unwilling to adapt to the times and will end up going the way of the dinosaur.
