Great Memories
I remember this was my first show as a 14 year old kid. We drove 4+ hours down to Southern California (a family friend took me) on Friday night and spent all Saturday at the show.
This was overwhelming - I couldn't believe how many cards and tables and people. The local comic/card shop was all I had to base my knowledge of this "little" hobby, I thought. Don't recall what I bought except, in the live auction, I picked up a 1969 Lew Alcindor for $11. By 1983 I was no longer collecting and by summer of 1984 I had sold everything for $400. Recently found an old polaroid of my "good cards" in a handmade display case (circa 1982). Wish I could go back!
