The cards on the tables at those shows were everyone's dupes. No one at those 1970s meets and shows (except Goldfadden) made a living at this stuff; they all had "straight" jobs. Real rarities of today were every bit as rare then, perhaps more so since all of the attic finds of the last 20 years were still in attics then.

One show I do recall seeing a table filled, and I mean filled, with Zeenuts and Home Run Kisses in loose stacks. There were hundreds of them. I knew what they were but didn't care.
