You don't want to know what those things cost and you can beat them with tinfoil. Would be funny to see though.

daxwills- its that easy huh? crazy
could you imagine the logistics of dealers having a bar code on everything at the National? That would be impossible.

Thanks for your valuable input buddy

You know what makes this? The chair.

If you want somebody to take the time to really dig in and pull some gems out of these boxes, they'll need the chair. So few dealers think of this ...

meelypops · 07-16-2018, 08:05 AM

ninesauce and bruins thanks!

BlowoutBuzz! Always have to have some chairs for the people! we had plenty more on the inside

Absolutely...if a dealer does not have a chair for me to sit on to go thru their boxes, that tells me that they don't want/need my business. I am going to be on my feet walking the show all 5 days and going thru boxes and spending 1000's of dollars doing so.

I won't spend more than 5 minutes at a table without a chair. And no..I am not bringing my own. That is on the dealer.

What does "on border of corporate" mean?

There's an area of the Nationals where all the corporate sponsors are, like Topps, Blowout, Beckett, etc. His booth is very close to ( or on the border of ) that area.

meelypops · 07-17-2018, 01:03 PM

What a great write up. Thank you for the insight. Wow, $6500 just to set up is rough. I would pretty much be giving away my cards just to break even. Maybe one day I’ll split the booth with somebody, idk. Seems steep when I can just save myself time and sell on eBay. Nevertheless, I really apppreictae reading what you wrote about the experience. Thanks again.

meelypops · 07-22-2018, 07:15 PM

thx enyou!!!

meelypops · 07-25-2018, 12:16 PM
