Something id like to add. Ive never set up at a card show, but having to been to card shows I know that it's helpful if the seller asks if there is anything I'm looking for. Not being pushy, just a simple "hey how are ya? What are you looking for?" ....i have a very specific collection and there have been times where what I was looking for isn't in the case or on the table due to lack of room, but ends up being in a bag or box behind the table.

This is great advice! Back in the pre-pandemic days, I used to have to ask some dealers if they had basketball behind the table LOL

When I set up as a vendor, I usually say something like "how's it going" and "if you have any questions, just let me know".

Great info. I have set up at a handful of shows and experienced some of the things you mentioned. I am currently trying to get out of the hobby but it's like a drug, hard to kick the habit.

Thanks for tuning in! I don't know your specific situation, but there are always ways to pivot and enjoy the hobby in different ways. Whatever happens, I hope it all works out for you!
