Based on the hair I can't tell if it's a guy or girl, but yes.

Some people swear by Crocs if they're on their feet all day. Nurses, etc.

Side note, this show is just a few days away and they still have "TBA" on a few of the autograph times. Is that normal?

First time not going in a year. I just don't see the need to.

I just spent a good $1500 on a collection and am in the process of listing. I love going through the bargain boxes, as well, but the last time I went, they were mostly filled with Ultra-modern parallels, which are a dime a dozen, or overpriced serial numbered and auto cards of third-tier players. Fine stuff if you're looking to add to your collection, but not very good if you're looking to resell. I just don't see the positive in spending $10 for parking and $15 for entry to possibly find some cards to add to my collection, when most of them can be found online.

Yeah that part sucks I am down close to 100.00 just to walk in the door. there is also always the spectre of the trimming ring outed a few years back lingering over this show and some of its promoters.

By and large you guys are right. I did alright in the bargain bins the last time I went. Would have done better if I wasn't splitting time chasing Pokemon cards with my kids... they don't have any spending money right now so I was going to hit it by myself this time.

Hoping to get a Ricky Williams premium ticket but need to know what time he's signing.

All this, plus the stink of hobby "influencers" wafting around the main room, camera's in hand, hyping the 3rd year Ohtani retail parallel PSA 10, or the 13-year old with the pelican case looking to "trade-up", or the grizzled, unshowered, hobby vet in flip-flops and a pizza-stained t-shirt.

A lot of footwear-related complaints in this thread

Nobody wants to see dudes gross feet! It’s not a park or the beach!

Goldin, PWCC, PSA, SGC, etc. are some big time sponsors going to this show.

The show admittedly is unorganized hence all the TBA on autographs.

This is ultra-modern crowd but there are hidden gems in both the tables and trade nights.

Full disclosure I am a 90s playing years MJ/Kobe collector and have my own table there.
