I was collecting 52 Topps cards at the time and to say he had some really nice ones would be an understatement, but his/their prices, imo, were over the top crazy!!
I got a price on severely OC ungraded Ritchie Ashburn card and it was at least 3-4 times current market value at the time. Needless to say, I walked away rather quickly.
I always thought/wondered, with the price of tables, the travel, etc, how they could ever make money, let alone recoup their costs for coming to this show, but then again, seeing as they are still around, I guess they are doing something right?
