Baseball card collectors by nature are socially inept weirdos (as someone who considers himself as having some conversational and social skills I often wonder how I ended up in this hobby), but at least dealers throw some comic relief into the equation. I remember that dealer from Chantilly, the guy with the binders? I actually had a couple of nice scores from him on some t209 this weekend. My favorite are dealers who mark high book MT prices on their G-VG cards, and try to negotiate from there. I also enjoy dealers who double BV on their cards, but gasp mark 1/2 off on their cases. Hasn't worked since I started going to shows, won't happen now.
