I may get some hits on having "old eyes," but it sure helps when you're looking at better cards and you want to make sure the edges are good enough. I also usually bring a want list - either for myself or others - and try and fill what I can.Comatoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586730611415248483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-5727218963041315982014-10-01T19:43:17.416-07:002014-10-01T19:43:17.416-07:00Very true.

I have at least six or seven of them sitting in boxes in my garage.

I have a back pack with a couple 500 count boxes in them. Never worry about penny sleeves or anything. Most of the dealers I hit will have the cards in some protection that I don't need to worry about sleeving them up, or they are dime boxes and I am not a stickler on their condition. A snack or two - sure. Just in case. Pen and paper, if I need to quickly save contact info or make notes of something I saw (quicker than typing it into my phone).

I just rely on the dealers to give me a team bag or a brown lunch sack to carry around my purchases. I guess it also helps that I never really make a ton of purchases. Thanks for the tips! Not sure the next time I'll go to a card show, but the next time I go, I'll definitely be bringing a card show survival kit.

Or at least leave your monetary cards at home and don't bring anything bigger than a $20 bill.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.com
