Jason LThis show never has much in the way of vintage, and perhaps the summer vacation season has taken a toll on this particular event this weekend.
The only reasons I go to this show are:
1) submit cards to SGC (and maybe PSA, we'll see)
2) bring my boys and search for their passion: Starting Lineup and MacFarlane figures,
and
3) try to recall the good old days of just going to a show.
My oldest son made me raise an eyebrow last night, though, when I asked him if he wanted to go...he said, "I want to maybe get some really old baseball cards."
I replied, cautious and nervous, "What you mean, like 1980s?" hoping to keep the family finances intact.
To this he responded, "No like really really old. Like when baseball first started!"
The last thing I need is to spend time trying to figure out how to explain to my wife that the card budget must be tripled because I can't find a way to stop my 6 year old son from buying 19th Century baseball cards!
So Bruce's news may actually be good for me.
We'll see how it goes on Sunday!
