    Is this show only once a year?

    I was able to finish off my 1972 Topps baseball set. but the first half of the show the dealers were awful. Some were asking double of high book and when I told therm that it was a little more than I was hoping to pay they shot back with nasty answers. One guy had 1975 TOpps baseball commons for $3.50 a piece. He told me that the price has jumped considerably and that i will not find them any cheaper. Two tables over had them for .10 a piece in near mint condition. Besides being able to finish the set I was disappointed with (some but not all) of the dealers. they were rude. there were some that were very friendly and i did most of my buying from them. There was a Chinese couple right across from 707 Sportscards that were great. we talked for a long time and told him that i will see him at the White Plains show in January.

    I wasn't able to make the show. But, the Chinese couple are always easy to deal with. There is usually a show there in March or April.

    They are fantastic people.!! I have been buying from them for years now. Those are the people I like to support.
    Like you said some dealers are very good but other leave your head spinning. The thing I have trouble with is dealers that rather BS instead of selling cards, you would think after paying all that money for the space. But to each there own!!
