I’m curious how AC is as well and think I could make it happens. There is one dealer there with Japanese baseball whom I have purchased from before so he usually has o e or two sumo items. No other Japanese stuff around except for Ichiro and Ohtani of course. I’m sure you’d enjoy the show!SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-65206014333625824372021-08-06T13:41:40.039-07:002021-08-06T13:41:40.039-07:00Great summary!

But those tips apply to any card show.<br /><br />Also: "Thanks to all the collectors out there for showering."

I don't know if it was the lockdown or what, but it seems like a lot of people don't know how to act in public all of sudden. It's good to hear that everything went well for you though. Was there a lot SumoMenkoMan type stuff there, or did just so happen to find the one dealer with Bromide cards? I briefly thought about trying to go next year, as I'd much rather see AC than Chicago, but I think that the drive would kill me!Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-3000146582614097282021-08-05T12:52:38.404-07:002021-08-05T12:52:38.404-07:00I did snag a good Maddux out of the box.

I'm kinda curious as to what kind of cards a kid has in one of those cases. A lot of guys had them at the show I set up at. I actually went down to Harbor Freight, but didn't end up buying one. I'm not really the type of guy who walks around a card show with a fancy case of cards... although I'm not hating on anyone who does. That unopened pack of sumo cards is really cool. Did you pull any gem mint copies of Greg Maddux or Barry Bonds out of your box of 87D?Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-33077473985247696082021-08-04T17:14:11.355-07:002021-08-04T17:14:11.355-07:00I certainly hope you can make next year!
