Here is my review (I'm not a writer, so this is just a brief overview and not very organized :)

I went last night and it was fun, this was my first card show. Friday was free, today and tomorrow are $5 because they have autograph signings I guess. There seemed to be a lot of places that had vintage cards, football, and baseball. I am a basketball collector and I felt like most places had less basketball and some didn't have any at all. A lot of places had $1 boxes and $5 GU/Auto boxes. One place I bought from had a boxes of cards 5/$1 and as I went through there were even some low end rookie cards in there, but the boxes mostly had cards that were not in penny sleeves so a lot of the cards were damaged just from people looking at them all day. Another place I bought from was REALLY way more organized than the rest, breaking things down by sport, then by year, and all the cards were in top loaders with stickers saying book vs. sell price.

There were also I think 3 main places that were selling boxes. A few places had some old and cheap boxes, but nothing caught my eye. DA card world was there, I recognized them from online, and the prices were slightly cheaper in person.

Overall, I had fun. I only spent $80 because I watch my money lol, but now I know what a card show is like and I will go again when they come back.
