    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.
    Live long, and prosper.

    Who's with me? Sold out looks like about 120 dealers. It's getting to become the East Coast National. Can't wait. I always pick up a few from Stan.

    I paid for the early entry / preview and I was told by several tables that dealers had cleaned them out prior to early entry. So unless you get in at setup you are at a major disadvantage buying wise.

    Kiss me once, shame on you.

    I will be there Friday and Saturday, I thought about doing the BKB deal in person, but I will probably just mail it in. I typically go to Stan and the dude beside him from Florida, and spend 4 hours looking through their cards. I am going to mix it up a little this time. And spend more time at other tables. I feel like I limit myself by staying at one place that long.

    Looking forward to it. Hope you have fun.

    Plan to go in the afternoon after work. Visit the competition. Would like to be able to use PSA SGC and BGS all for different things.

    Want to see if I can get a bump on any of these.

    Spent fri and sat at the show. huge turn out. about 175 sellers. more pokemon, etc than last oct. i collect mostly cardboard (older cards). prices keep going up and up on rose ryan etc as the condition gets worse. not a ton of 1960's and 70's stars - ungraded.

    turnout by the public was very large. went with 150 readers so, i could really see the condition well. lowered my purchases by half. did pick up some nice 1968 topps game cards for very affordable prices. mantles about $50 each, aaron and clemente around $30. great condition. 7's maybe. all from the same guy. very pleased with those.

    it costs $650 per table and most dealers are paying over $1,000. so this leads to more higher end priced cards versus a lot of 1977 - 1985 star cards - $5 - $10 type cards.

    it amazes me how some of the sellers can make money based on their prices. $40 and $50 for beat vg 1975 nolan ryan's, $80 - $100 for 1973. LOL!!
