National Show Report Day Five

8/7/2011

3 Comments

 
It was kind of like a funeral today. Not much doing. Smallest turnout of the five-day show. My boothmate Tony bought some cards from me, and for most of the day it looked like my only sale. Some other sales trickled in.  My cheapie box got a workout today. Near the end of the show, a guy from Clean Sweep Auctions bought my '53 Bowman Mantle and a T205 Hughie Jennings, to make my day. On the buying front, I picked up a couple of 1935 Goudeys.

Though, the purchase of the day, was made by Tony Schaefer who bought seven sets from another dealer including '60, '61, '62, '63, '68, '69, and '70 Topps.  An awesome amount of cards.  The '63 Rose was a beauty.  We all drooled over those sets. This was about the coolest purchase I have ever seen anyone make.

Other than the theft of my binder, it was a good show. I generally enjoyed myself and bought and sold a pile of cards. I would like to set up at the National next time it is in Chicago in 2013, though this time I'm not going to bring any binders.  I'm also going to set up at the Sun-Times show in November and am not sure if I want to bring binders to that show.  I think it is best if I leave the binders home at the big shows where thieves prey.

Tomorrow it is back to the grind of the day job.  Next week is Orland on Saturday and Gonzaga on Sunday.  I'm going to try and price a ton of cards before the Orland show.  I appreciate all the sympathy I received from other dealers and collectors.  There are too many good people in this hobby to let this theft get me down.  Though, if anyone happens to catch the thieving bastards, please hold them down for me so I can bust 'em up a little.

Hey Tony

Just curious how much did that guy spend for all those sets. Don't forget my 65 Mays and I will see you in Orland.

Yo Will -

It matters not what I ("that guy") spent, but that I am as handsome as I am knowledgeable about cards! I also came in 3rd in the "Most Interesting Man in the World" competition to the Dos Equis guy and Chuck Norris.

Just kidding - it was under 5 figures, so...very nice deal.
