So I spent too much money this weekend at the show...

But had fun!

Show was at Merle Hay Mall in Des Moines.

Football

First off, for a seahawks SUPERFAN!

Then some other odds and ends

Basketball

Also for the Seattle SUPERFAN

And some nice 90s schwag

Hockey (Yes Eric, HOCKEY!)

Over all a fun show. Saturday was much better than Sunday (I also set up as a dealer), but there was plenty of boxes to go through.

Also opened some 90s wax (98 Pinnacle, 97 Pinnacle, 98 score, 99 Pacific Crown Collection, which totally sucked!)

Enjoy.

Great pick-ups! Three questions:

1. How is the Merle Hay show? I've always wanted to make the trip down to it, but am afraid there won't be more than a few tables, and it won't be worth driving from Minneapolis (well, more like from Forest City - I'd stay at my folks' the night before).

2. Do they have a lot of Hawkeye football stuff there?

3. Did you see a dealer who had a TON of fantastic stuff? He has a complete set of 93-94 Finest Basketball Refractors, a Walter Payton auto, Koufax autos, nice Donruss/Leaf game used selection, a ton of NASCAR autos... he has a Killebrew I really want, but couldn't pull the trigger on at the Mason City show. I'm hoping he still has it - he won't do any transactions through the mail, so my fingers are crossed that he hasn't sold it yet.

Paul, let me know

Slette- Yeah, Rich Rielly. He's the promoter of the Merle Hay show.

It was a good show. Some decent amount of Hawkeye stuff.

Through out the weekend there were around 14 different dealers (some only there certain days).

Holy Crap the Merle Hay Mall show.

But seriously what did you buy that cost so much :twisted:

Even quarter cards add up! :^)

Also bought 12,000 commons of newer stuff. Going through them found a Blake Griffin Rookie that i turned around and sold for $12. :^)
