Card Show Report: The Big One

This past weekend was the Spring Card show that is put on by Collector's Showcase of America.  I hardly ever miss this show since it is THE biggest one in my area.  It's about 2 hours away from my house near Dulles Airport, that is located in Chantilly, VA.  I made the trip up there and I can't hide my excitement any longer from the blogging community.  Here's my favorite card from the whole show:


I was going to save this for last but I decided to show if first since I couldn't keep it to myself any longer.  I was able to sell my Jacob Turner Orange Refractor Autograph and my Max Scherzer Superfractor to a vendor that was set up at the show.   I  used the proceeds to buy this awesome piece of cardboard.  I did something with the remaining cash that I said I'd never do.  Any guesses?

    I'd say you paid for an autograph signing.

    Sweet card, by the way.

    Were you there Saturday? I was there from 10am-4:30pm Saturday. I thought it was a good show.

    I bet you used the extra cash on a box of Justin Beiber cards. Totally a guess.

    Beautiful vintage! Did you use the cash on hot dogs and beer at the show?

    I'm a regular at Chantilly shows too. Got a bunch of '59 stars & high numbers cheap, the last four (until my gremlin discovery last night) for my '71 set, and a ton of 2012 inserts. Also got Dexter Manley's autograph....
