    For those that haven't been, this was a really good local show. There were about 30 or so tables...half comic books and half sports cards. The sports cards had a nice variety and I was surprised at the number of vintage raw cards for sale. There was one table of unopened, but mostly modern and some junk wax. The other tables were really good to browse around in. A nice non-sports table that had a very nice selection of a wide variety of cards. I didn't spend too much time with the comic books, but there were just as many people there as were on the card side. A great show and I'll be returning again in November. There was a healthy number of people here too which was very refreshing. Am waiting for the Chantilly show in a couple of weeks!

    Here is a picture I took of the comic book side over toward the sports card side.

    Did you guys see any hockey?

    I bought a sealed 92-93 UD Series 2 Hky Box. Nothing vintage from what I can remember. Very little hockey at Chantilly past few shows as well. Practically no vintagethere to speak of.

    I did pick up a Dale Murphy RC EX-MT for $1. I can remember in 1987 when this was the card of the hobby.

    Very little hockey. Mostly baseball from what I saw. Vintage sealed was non-existent here.

    In case any Hockey Collectors were interested, I ripped the 92-93 UD High Box yesterday with decent results.

    Collation was pretty good.

    First off, I got the SP card - Team Canada Championship (1:81) which was pretty neat, if almost worthless now.

    4 Howe Heroes (1:10), these are really sharp cards.

    3 Gordie Howe Selects (1:12) I believe, but all commons.

    2 Kariya RCs, both very sharp.

    1 Pronger RC, again sharp.

    I did not get any American/Canadian Holograms - which are seeded 1:28 or something like that.

    I also just missed the Markus Naslund RC (based on collation, I ran out of packs right before getting to that number).

    The Young Guns from this set appear to be a bust, except for Roman Hamrlik and a few others. Many "rookies" are actually second and third year cards.

    Kiss me once, shame on you.

    Just returned. They have UltraPro 1975 Topps mini pages for $15 a box. Been looking for these for quite some time.

    Very nice. I picked up a 1992 Score BB traded set. Trying to complete my 1980s/1990s set run.
