Strongsville Sports Collections Convention - April 14th-16th

[brass_rat]

I attended early Friday, and I enjoyed myself for the few hours that I was there.

With that said, I think my expectations were set appropriatel for myself:

I expected it to be very crowded, but I arrived at noon and left by 2:30 -- it only got "crowded" as I was leaving. So I was happy to avoid traffic.

I really enjoyed that it was 90% pre-1970 vintage, and I saw a few folks chuckling a bit at the post-1990 in the room.

I didn't expect to find anything in the narrow scope of cards that I collect, so I wasn't disappointed or surprised that I didn't find anything I needed. That's not a comment on the account on the material in the room but is just a consequence of my scope. I mainly attended to see and feel a show and to hang out in Cleveland for the weekend. The city has a lot to do, even without the Guardians in town.

I do lament the amount of dealer space taken up by "auction previews" though. I understand that it's important advertising, but given the limited space in the room, I'd rather see cards that are available for transaction.
