Great, picked up some Cobb ports. as well as about 30 t206 commons. 707 had an amazing amount of stuff, as usual i walked away drooling.

I went on Sunday. It cleared out for the Eagles game at 1. Long line for the Griffey Sr. Auto. I heard he wasn't very friendly, but I'm not always cheery at work either.

I spoke to Levi at 707 and bought four 1955 Red Mans for my set. Submitted a bunch of stuff to PSA.

It was my first time to the show, so not sure how to guage it. I will say that lots of dealers asked me if I had anything to sell, so I may remember to bring some stuff if I go again.

I still love the big shows, like the Fort, but the fact remains that most of these shows exist now so that dealers can build up their inventories to sell on Ebay (and other online means). There is often a lot of dealer to dealer transactions prior to the doors opening to the public, and unless you have a dealer friend or two that you do regular business with, you will often find it difficult to obtain really nice raw or rare cards unless you are willing to pay quite a bit for them.
