Wow, this thread is interesting. Having never been to a real card show,I had just assumed that trading went along with the territory. I figured people may go to the shows with items they intended to try to trade for other cards they needed/wanted, especially if they were low on funds.
I can see how sellers who pay to set up tables would get a little upset seeing someone standing outside the main door hitting people up before they entered-that would seem a bit out of line. But, I figured once you were in and had trade bait that it would just be a normal part of the hobby.
Has anyone ever set up a table specifically (at a large show, like the National) just for trading? I know it seems like that person would lose money on the table, unless he/she was able to make some remarkable trades.
Sincerely, Clayton
