Hi guys,
Just went to my First Card Show in the Chicago Area. Rosemont, IL.
@ the Donald Stephen's Center.
BIG SHOW!
I was overwhelmed. Very captivating and full of everything Sports.
I mainly went to SELL.
However, I couldn't resist buying some Boxes. Of course, right?
😆
4 Update Topps Blasters and a Heritage Monster box. Along with some great deals, Top Loaders and such. .
Yeah, had to let loose of some of my recent Pulls.
Some, I really didn't want to part with but I wanted to leave the show with some
CASH!
And I did!
One thing that I did not like at all.
Was the fact that they weren't receiving any Credit Cards to enter!
What?
I didn't know this. I hardly carry any cash on me. I had to journey to find an ATM nearby. Sheeeshhhh.
Oh well, other than that, all was great!
Met a bunch of awesome collectors and dealers. Everyone was so nice and polite. One table that I sold some Hot raw Rookie cards to. After the deal I apparently left on his case about 5 or 6, Good Rookie cards!
Luckily, I wasn't far from his table and he spotted me and generously gave them back. How thoughtful, wow!
Not used to that in these harsh days!
😆
Anyway, I really enjoyed my first show .Had to leave after 2 1/2 hours. Traffic would of been herondous if I waited.
Here's a picture of the Main Lobby from another Show they were having Downstairs.
Thanks guys!
<3



Oh!
After Ripping the Boxes.
Check out what I Pulled from the Heritage Box!
I couldn't believe it.
Wow!
Not only an Autograph but...

    I've been to that show many, many times. It's a big show for sure. I've always found good deals there too. I also would go get autographs as well.
