So, yeah, I caught a card show this past weekend. I also missed a card show this past weekend. That's the way it is now in the post-pandemic show boom. I'm told this is a lot like it was in the late '80s/early '90s. I wasn't going to shows then, so I don't know.

My plan originally was to go to the Sunday show at the New York State fairgrounds. What had been a card show/toy show when I went last December had been split into a toy show Saturday and a card show Sunday. Good move, but it sucked for me because I had to work Sunday night for a co-worker who was on vacation. So when Angus of Dawg Day Cards emailed me with a "two shows this weekend!" messsage, I said, yeah, I'm going to the Sunday show but we can't have dinner afte...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
