I use to go to this show all the time with my uncle. But now that I live in middle America I can't.

Wow I hadn’t checked the weather there in a few days. That changed for the way worse. Honestly all I think is they’ll end up cancelling the auto guests and I’ll miss out in Ripken again!

Seriously though - calling for 6-12 inches of snow. Might not be worth traveling for me. Guess we’ll see.

I'll swing by going Friday and Saturday

I'd be amazed if the snow sticks to the roads, been to warm for that.

Yeah it’s already dropped to 1-3 and if it’s anything like what we’ve had in SW VA, you’re right n it not sticking. Either way I’m looking forward to getting to a show.

Excellent guy to deal with and I wish I was still in that area! Chantilly is one of the best shows and has been for a few long years.

This show was fantastic. Met a lot of great members on the board and there was constant traffic from Thursday til Sunday.

Acuna was the talk of the show and I was able to move a Blue Raw auto, Best auto, Base Auto 9.5/10, (2) Orange Gem Non-Autos and about 40 base chromes. Even kids who only had about $5 to spend would pick up a Draft Paper, just so they could have one.

This was also the first big show that I decided to buy at my table and I had a lot of interesting pieces come through. Of course, still had a handful of guys wanting over ebay and when I told them my rates, they would get upset. Oh well. Best card shown to me was a Kyle Tucker Red Auto 9/10. $4k asking price was just too much, but it was a beauty.

I really like interacting with just about everyone who comes to my table and it's like Christmas for me. Even if I sold nothing, it's great to just be in that environment for several days.

Unfortunately, not all was perfect. I do allow other dealers to check surfaces, corners, etc on my raw cards in my showcase. I tell them they should assume anything raw will NOT GEM, but they check anyway. Of course on Sunday, I notice about 5 cards have really bad surface scratches on the front that weren't there when I started the show. Hiura Blue Auto, Hiura Base Auto, (2) Tucker Base autos and a Haseley Blue auto. So I won't be allowing that anymore, lessoned learned. I usually trust others dealers, but that's ridiculous.
