We set up in Stevensville on Saturday. It was a first time show and not very big one so we weren't sure what to expect. It ended up being a pretty good show, a lot better than expected. They had Andre Rison signing autographs for a couple of hours and he seemed pretty genuine. He hung out a bit after the autograph session and just spent time talking with people. It was good to see someone like that just hanging out with people.
Our big story was we've been carrying around a couple of Mega's of Bowman Platinum, probably for a couple of months. We had $60 on them when they retail at $90, we never expected them to last long but here we were, a few months later still there. They promise 2 autos a box, I can't tell you how many times we talked about opening them. Well, they finally sold to a 14 year old who was also set up at the show. He bought both boxes at $120. He came back awhile later to show us his big hit.
Needless to say, it was well worth his money. You can see it's serial numbered to 99. The last couple have sold on Ebay for close to $400.
As I said above, we had a pretty good show and won't hesitate to sign up for another one there in the future. I don't believe they have a date for their next one.
This coming Saturday, we will be back in Fort Wayne for the 7th time. The only show we've done more is the Plymouth one which we haven't missed one since we started going there. Fort Wayne is monthy but we don't usually hit it every month, there are enough shows that we do so we are usually in Fort Wayne every few months. Come out and see us, flyer is below.
It is a pretty big show, last I heard it was 130 tables and it's sold out.
Be sure to check out our Shows page at the top to see where we'll be in the future.
