... in New Jersey as well!

On Saturday I went to a small show (about 65 tables) in Woodbridge at a Hampton Inn... I went with my 2 nephews. There was mostly new shiny stuff with some vintage mixed in. The only prizes I walked off with was some graded Pokemon cards for my (13-year old) Daughter, nothing for me...

On Sunday, I followed that up at the same venue (also about 65 tables) with an exclusively Pokemon Show, this time with my Daughter. That show was SO crowded that I couldn't even get to the front of many tables. I spent about an hour, then we went to lunch at a Long Horn (attached to the hotel), hoping it would get better; then went back to the show, and things did not change. I just waved to a couple of dealers that I met the day before (that had set up then) as I could not get close enough to their tables and my Daughter got impatient in waiting... so, other then the one PSA 10 card I did purchase for her, we purchased an additonal box and we were off our merry way...

Bottom line... The "Card" Market is alive and well in many spots!!!

Thanks for the update, Ryan. It's always good to see busy local shows.

Definitely. The 2nd Burbank Show is this weekend...in Ontario (kind of like having a New York City show in Connecticut). I won't make that one but hopefully it will be a smashing success too.

Glad to see your son is still into the cards, Ryan. Mine is, too. Go Bears!
