Anyone hitting up the card show to kick of Labor Day Weekend in San Diego? I think I'll head out there for a bit, though I'm not sure what time. See if I can't raid the bargain relic bin.

Ha, just me, I guess. Hopefully it's still on, with this being the start of a holiday weekend and all.

Depends what you're looking for. Last time I was there, there was a reasonable selection of wax (boxes only)... all the 'hot' new stuff, anyway. Loads of singles. I like the cheap relics. It's free, so there's nothing to lose, really.

is it a decent show these days? haven't been in ages
There isnt a whole lot of selection singles wise but what they do have its pretty good, you can find some hot prospects in the $3 autograph box which is nice. My dad bought a Brandon Belt school colors auto for $2.50 a few weeks back. Wax wise Jerry always has the newest wax available for mainly the same price as Blowout/DA ect..

That's a hell of a drive for a card show... it's not very big. Not to take business away from anyone, but I don't think I'd drive 2 hours for it. I'm bad at estimating sizes. but I'd say it's 5-10 tables, if that. Small room. Probably NOT what you picture when you think of a card show... unless it's been at the Kings Inn for years and years in the same "conference room."

If that's the case, then definitely worth it! It's definitely more "quality" than "quantity", which isn't a bad thing. So long as it has what you're looking for, it's a great show!

Ha, I'll be there close to 5pm, too, with my son. I'm curious to see what you're picking up (and being so secretive about!). Hopefully not something from the $2 bin :)

Not from the $2 bin almost! Think the blue was 5?

Yankees cap and nine month old son for me. Will be there less time than it take me to drive due to kids' attention spans these days :)

I might head over but most likely not. If I do I'll be there after 6. Maybe I'll see one or two of y'all. :)

Met Seiya real quick in the parking lot, then robbed Keith blind. Ha, not really, but got some fun cheap relics. I'll post later this weekend.
