I went on Thursday. I had a prearranged purchase of about 100 auto cards to help with my 1979 set (only 81 cards to go! (Marris/Aaron, Aaron, Munson, and Byron McLaughlin are the toughest left to get, I think). I really wanted to pick up a Nolan Ryan RC in a PSA 6, and there were some out there. We found a beautiful one that was perfectly centered and the woodgrain borders popped nicely. The guy wanted 2200, but would take trades. And I had cards he wanted. Banks RC, 53 Paige, 54 Jackie, 56 Koufax, but they weren't "graded high enough" for him. If they were graded any higher they woulda surpassed the value of the Nolan. He wouldn't do a combo of cash and trade. I had the cash, but I really wanted to make a trade, so I walked away. Kinda kicking myself but we have home projects and things that are probably more important than bragging rights to put in a showcase right now. Went through some bargain boxes and got some good cards for under a buck each that go for $8-10. My friend found a /25 Jose Fernandez Saphire rookie in a dollar bin, he just beat me to it. In hindsight, I should've probably had my eye on a few lesser value cards to pick up, but I've been pretty focused on that card for awhile now. Maybe soon I'll find another I like for a good price. There's deals to be had there, but it was exhausting. Lots of people, too much to take in at once. I'll go every year it's in Chicago, but I'd rather do something else vacation wise.
