Does anyone in the Florida area know anything about a big time purchaser of cards by the first name of Eugene? He is a younger looking Asian-American. Big time buyer and used to set up at shows 7-8 years ago.

    I have lived in Orlando for 11 years and have yet to see a good card show here. I might be spoiled because in Detroit, there were several good shows every month. I haven't seen any big time collectors.

    There used to be some decent shows at the Belz Factory Outlet around 1996-99 then they couldn't get autograph guests or something. Now they're remodeling it anyway and the only show is about every other month or quarterly at the Fashion Square Mall on Colonial. It's not much at all either. I've set up at both. I agree it's pretty sad that Orlando can't have a decent show. Around 2001 or 2002 there was sort of a national type show at the Orange County Convention Center. PSA, Naxcom, Beckett and GAI were all there as were all the "big" dealers such as Levis 707, Mile High and such. I'm about an hour north of Orlando. The only card shop is 30 miles from here in Ocala and it's nothing to write home about. Anyway, this guy I'm referring to is a young(20 something I'd guess) guy who will pull out $10,000 in cash and buy entire collections at the drop of a hat. He loves game used too but will buy any and everything. His first name is Eugene and I was just wondering if anyone here knew anything more about him? Heck, he could be on this board for all I know. Very knowledgeable guy from what I can tell. Very businesslike. His age is hard to guess as he's looked relatively the same for the last 10 years.

    Eugene is a good guy. As any dealer he is looking to make a buck, so if you are selling prepare to give him a deal.

    Oh, I agree Joestalin, he seems to be a good guy. Any more info. on him? Contact info? I saw him at a show Saturday in Ocala and need to ask him a question. I was set up and he was gone before I could talk with him.
