Thanks to all for your contributions to this thread. As a dealer, customer opinions definitely serve as market research. Of course, some comments are (intentionally) just pure entertainment… Either will do!

A quick “Hey” to Kevin Ailes – it was great to meet you and your boys this weekend! As always at shows, whether it’s a several-day marathon or just a small one-day event, I wish I would have had more time to chat.

Unfortunately, I agree with his and some others’ opinions that many dealers have off-puttingly (I occasionally make up words) high prices. I’ll say that dealers like myself are at shows to pick up cards too – from other dealers and customers. That Tuesday and pre-VIP time on Wednesday can be a flurry of dealer-to-dealer action. While collectors and dealers are free to price their cards as they wish, I’ll just echo that I was kinda disappointed in this regard also.

That said, sales were strong for me and most every dealer I know well enough to speak candidly with. (I just know the good/reasonable dealers, of course! ) Thank you to the Cleveland market and all who traveled long distances to attend and make that happen.

Incidentally, I was set up pretty close to that ‘ruckus,’ which I believe was coming from the Topps area. I was convinced that there couldn’t be people chanting with such fervor so frequently (I thought it was a recording), but was incorrect in that assumption. Whoever was whipping up such a frenzy has a serious talent for crowd work. He/she should have been operating that lonely ferris wheel....

Should make you glad I left on Sunday so you had some place to sort all those cards. LOL
