My ? is. what do you guys think of the small show today? Finds are prob rare at those shows, but I think they still have their place in the hobby. Opinions?
Also, anyone ever get some great finds at the "local show"

Hi, I have been a sports collector for 25 years. I Started collecting Olympic items with my brother Mike and am now building a baseball collection. In all these years of going to shows, I found you might find something neat to buy, but the best thing is actually talking to someone and showing something to someone, who actually cares and appreciates what the item is. I have had some great items, and when you show someone that doesn't collect an item you might get a " thats neat ", but show it to a true collector and the " wow factor is the best feeling."
