The PA show is mostly older dealers so there aren't nearly as many "mojo" tables (slabs) as at Chantilly and elsewhere.<br />Glad to hear the <$1 market is still going strong. You hit several of my player collections with the Broder Bo, Julio Franco, Torre, and Bud H. I'm sure I'll hit some of them somewhere. They're always my favorite things to find even if I come across some set killers at the same time.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-25109177950365367762023-03-23T08:01:13.006-05:002023-03-23T08:01:13.006-05:00Absolutely awesome to see there are still a handfu...Absolutely awesome to see there are still a handful who continue to promote the hobby positively, this is what being involved in the hobby as a "dealer" is supposed to be, getting cards to your partners at the best possible prices.<br />We recently acquired another massive amazing collection that will be going up over the next month so there's no shortage of dime fun! baseballcardstore.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05203621915450209646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-83125743518209147782023-03-23T00:55:26.154-05:002023-03-23T00:55:26.154-05:00Your ability to find incredible dime cards and ama...Your ability to find incredible dime cards and amazing vintage never fails to astound.

...That Tiant Archives Snapshots for a dime? Yowsa!<br /><br />I've been to some shows where the dimeboxing is minimal, but the good ones still have them. There were at least 3 dealers at the last Garfield NJ show I attended with them, two with recent stuff and one with a really nice mix ranging from 1976 SSPC to recent "ACEO" unlicensed cards (which I ain't paying what they're offered on eBay for, but for a dime, yes please!). Hopefully I'll have similar luck at the local show in a week and a half.
