Hi. Has anyone been to this show? Is it worth going? I'm not into autographs, just cards. I can't find much info about it. I might check it out. Thanks.
Love those 70's - early 80's packs and boxes...send me a message if you are selling because I am buying

I don't know anything about it, but I'm going to head up tomorrow, I need a Terry Bradshaw autograph for a project I'm working on and figured I might as well knock it out.
Gary Takahashi is a major autograph promoter who I believe is based out of Hawaii. Over the years, he's signed a lot of NFL players to exclusive autograph deals (typically NFL draft picks right after the draft). He more recently has started to work with MLB players.
I believe he makes some of his money back by 1) selling the autograph rights to trading card companies to put on cards, 2) selling signatures to memorabilia companies (Steiner, Fanatics formerly Mounted Memories, UDA) and 3) putting on large autograph shows. Other cities he's done shows in recently were San Francisco, Houston and Los Angeles (at the LA Convention Center).
I went to this "show" tonight. I was looking for cards. There were very few dealers. It is really a giant autograph show. I left in 10 minutes.
