Has this show improved ? Last time I was there ( 3-4 years ago) it wasn't so great IMO.

Good crowd but the money wasnt really floating around. Should be a zoo tommorow with tyson and some others.

Not as much vintage more newer stuff raw and graded. Lots of auto pieces (memor)

Do you think it's because baseball season is pretty much over and prospectors are waiting till later to buy or is this across the board for all sports?

That and comic con was this past week also, you would think a small fraction of the 100,000 who attended NY Comic con also would have stopped by but where broke. I was at both and had a feeling it may have an effect. NY Comic con was amazing and is on track to out do San Diego's in the next year or 2, so I think some collectors cash went that way.

What did people think of the show? I thought it was middle tier compared to years before, but i enjoyed it. Tyson really was the reason most people were there, and it was nice to see fresh faces stopping at tables and buying stuff. I only bought a box of Chrome which yielded a Skaggs auto, but the rip was fun. And also if anybody was there past 3, Tyson walked right through the show and took pictures with anybody who asked. Even me, though i dont like posting pics on forums. But all in all meeting Mike Tyson was awesome and just seeing some new singles was fun. Good show all in all.
