Vintage card Show in Ephrata, Pennsylvania (Lancaster Co.) this Saturday (29th).

[AMBST95]

I went early with my little boy. This was his first time at a card show. It was pretty well attended as parking was at a premium. Once inside, his eyes gravitated right toward some old bobbleheads while mine was at the display of Red Hindus right next to them. Overall, there were several T206s, several other prewar cards along with plenty of 60s-70s.

My son is only 2 so we immediately went up and down the aisles. After seeing some of the prices and knowing I wasn't going to have time to work any deals with my mind being on the little guy, we went to the shiny stuff as he likes opening these packs. He wanted us to buy just one pack. I offered to get him more, but he said no, just one pack. He'll learn to spend my money soon enough. He picked out a pack of 2013 Topps Chrome due to Machado being on the front of the wrapper and pulls a RC gold parallel refractor numbered to 50. He has the best luck!

In general, this was a nice setup for a small show. I saw a lot of junk but there were some hidden gems there as well. I unfortunately couldn't really look too closely with the little guy, but he said he had a good time when we got home which made the entire trip worthwhile.
