I will affirm what Mike just posted about Friday night. The crowds were smaller, the dealers fewer and the prices just as unrealistic as predicted. Pre-war cards, except for a few dealers, were overgraded and overpriced. One dealer had a SGC 50 common at 100.00 and a SGC 30 Chance for 375. Why? That is, at most, 150.00 worth of cards...
Many dealers I had hoped to see didn't set up, including Bill Henderson, whose name was on the program, but whose booth was empty.
I did pick up some cards, but not really enough to justify the 1 1/2 drive in December. It may be too early to write this show's obituary, but its long-term prospects are poor at best.
