Anyone else? I have a lot of sorting to do....

Great comments! Should the McDonald's bags be used?

I think the top teams in this area are:

1. Braves (once had two minor league teams in the state, plus a huge team in the 'south')
2. Baltimore (lots of people from NoVA love Ripken)
3. Boston (people jumped all over this band wagon)
4. Nationals (tuff to follow, should have put the team on Virginia soil)

Go to your local grocery store / Wal Mart / Target and buy a 100 ct. thing of brown lunch paper bags (in the saran wrap section). It'll look more professional than McD's bags.

I'll say $250.

As for tips, the #1 thing I can tell you is the have everything priced. I just went to a show and most of my $ went to the guys who had stuffed already priced. The bargain bins are also a great idea.

What a day in Roanoke! The most dealers I have seen in a long time, with a lot of tempting stuff. I passed on a Zimmerman Ref Auto (kind of a long story, the dealer didn't mention anything my first time around). I sold everything except for two things.... Hank Aaron 8.5x11 Auto and Gordon Beckham 08 BC Blue Ref Auto.

I only refused one offer.... $15 for Pedro Auto.... but I ending up selling it in the end.

I had 15 transactions for a total of $560!!!! I had my showcase cleaned out three times. It looks like ballerskrip is the winner (correct me if I am wrong)! I still have a ton of cards that I didn't take for a nice collection to keep me busy.

The Braves were by far the most asked about team... followed by the Yankees.
