An absolutely incredible local card show in Northern California, that is one of the best shows I've been to in a very long time. I ended up buying over 40 cards, including finding a vintage honey hole that was phenomenal. Tons of raw cards, vintage cards, modern cards, and autos. I don't have a single negative thing to say, and am thrilled with how the show went. The excitement of going to a show is largely due to the fact of not knowing what you're going to find and what sort of deals you're going to get. Finding a box of ungraded cards that had recently been left to someone in an estate, was beyond anything I could have expected.

I commend you on the videos you do! It's so refreshing to see you take the time to go slowly over the cases so we can actually see individual cards we might be interested in. So many go so fast over the cases you barely get a glimpse of what's in them. Tremendously enjoy your videos!

Thanks so much for the huge compliment. That means a lot. My goal is for others to feel like they're also at the show and can see what's there. That's one of the reasons I try to also share contact information for a lot of the dealers. Also, it's why I try to share my negotiations with others. Actually being able to see the cards in the cases is important to me in the video. Thank you.

Wow, what a show. Been to the National 15 times and do not remember seeing so many great dealers and I was disappointed when I went to the Chantilly show here in Northern Virginia couple of months ago compared what you showed at this local show. Will try it again later this month. Love when you go to a show. Going to watch again there is so much to see and take in. Love 59s first set I ever put together. Those looked pretty sweet. . I could not believe all the Kobe and Jordan autograph cards. That 3 piece card with Robinson, Clemente and Dimaggio looked nice but why pay sixty thousand dollars when you can get individual index cards government post cards checks etc separate items expensive but so much less for their authenticated autographs. Autograph cards which I have tons great but cuts on created cards do not make sense to me. . Anyway, when is our next show, I cannot wait.

Wow! What a show! Great stuff! I could’ve spend a couple full days there and gone into debt 😂 Those T206s in the beginning were gorgeous. I’m shocked you didn’t pick up that 54’ Eddie Mathews raw. There is no way that wouldn’t have graded a 5. That 72’ Clemente was too nicely centered. I couldn’t have walked away from that one. Nice find on the 50s cards. Rule #1. If a guy dives into your value box for 40 cards, pause and reassess cause you are missing something.

I could’ve spent a LOT of money yesterday. Took a lot of restraint. Agree on the 72 Clemente. It was really nice. Regarding the value box…that guy was doing his first show. Had half a table with his friend. Right after I left, a dealer came over and bought EVERY slabbed card he had in a bill deal. I should’ve bought all the nice high numbers in the value box…there were some gorgeous ones.

I was trying to get at the 59's, there were 4 people digging including your dad. I tried to squeeze in, but they weren't having it... By the time I came back I was almost out of cash. That was an awesome show, I wasn't anywhere prepared budget wise for what I saw. There was some jaw dropping tables! They need to do this again, real soon. I pick up a Aaron autographed card for .25, among many other cards. I wish I had brought more cash, I would have brought home some DiMaggio's and Clemente's.

Definitely an impressive show. I believe I was the second person that got to the 59 box after the dealer put it out.

I was talking to my Dad and friend about that exact question (about Craig grading raw stuff) on the way home from the show. I know he does one submission per month, and usually does about 30 cards. He tends to cherry pick what he feels are the best ones. The red spot you saw on the card was the cut line, I think. One a lot of vintage cards, there were small dots/lines for where the card should be cut. Because it is slightly high/low off center, you could just see that line.

I agree. That's why I was impressed to see his auto at the show.

Dude $200 is a very fair counter

I totally agree that it was a fair counter. Given the cards, the volatility of the Rose recently, the number of 2nd year Yaz cards that were at the show, I felt like I needed to be at $190. But, you're absolutely right. It was fair.

That 2pac stuff is a great find, I would chop off my pinky for that case of Jordans.

Did you end up getting the Russell auto?

I didn't. I was on the fence about it...and was going to go back and make an offer. The last comp on ebay was $350...but no, I didn't go back and make an offer...but may end up regretting it.

I like Pete as a player and loved that 68 card because of how young he looks. It'll be interesting to see what his cards do moving forward.

Those were some amazing pick ups at $2.50 .. did you think about buying the lot?

If I had the cash, I would've considered it. All in all...I think he probably had close to 700-800 cards...so it would've been tough. But...looking back, I wish I had grabbed about 25 more.

Its funny how some dealers throw incredible unrealistic high prices on items at those shows just to see if it sticks. Did that one guy actually think he would get $60,000 for those three autographs?

I think some dealers have a few items they like to have in their cases as a way to draw people to their cases....with little intention of actually selling them.

Do you ever worry or feel any concern that a card or cards you bought are counterfeit? I don't know...might just being paranoid atm...I just came back, from a card show with my dad, bought a Clemente in a slab, so the holder itself is real, but that doesn't always mean the card is...sometimes fakes slip through cracks...there are still sadly some scammers in the hobby...

I've purchased a fake card before. I don't worry too much when it's in a PSA or SGC slab, because I think one of the things they do best is screen for counterfeits. Their reputation is on the line with that. I know that the vintage lot I bought was real, because the guy who sold them wasn't a dealer, just a guy that inherited cards. He had all the "Big" names in SGC slabs, and none came back altered or anything. So, I knew that pile was legit.

$3 ALREADY a great deal, then you ask for an additional 50 cents off on each!!! Come on man, everyone wants everything for free! That's why my ebay sales suck

$3 was a great deal. But, part of the card show experience is trying to get the best deal possible in my opinion. But, you're right.

What is wrong with you ? These types of opportunities are once in a lifetime. Didn't your dad advise you? I am much younger than you and I would have bought ALL of the 3 dollar cards. NO WAY you would have lost. Oh well. Brain Fart, it happens to all of us.
