Arrived early this morning and managd to pick up a few good bargains, including 14 autos, 7 gu and 6 rookie cards, including a luol deng UD star rookie UD exclusives paralell /25! To top things off, I won one of those free beanie bears that i sold off which covered the cost of all my cards + more. Managed to catch up with a few members, shoes and sonny to name a couple, others must of got there after i left (round 12ish). Anyways, i'll put up some scans later on the mailday section of what i got!

that was the first trade show i have have been to, and it was great to meet some people from this site, saw Shoes Baron Davis 1/1 awesome looking card. Gemz those Ultimate Signature cards look 10 times better in hand than they do by scan. I will definately go to the next trade show providing it isn't to far away, well worth going for a look.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it today. So for those that went....what's your opinion of how healthy the hobby is? I reckon Card Shows are a pretty good indication of how the hobby is travelling.....
Are crowds growing?
Is the number of stallholders growing?
Were there a few youngsters there?
What's the average age of collectors there?
What are people collecting (NBA, MLB, NFL, AFL, CCG etc)?
I'm interested in your responses and any other relevant feedback!!

most young'ins were collecting afl cards..
but then again i met quite a few people who collected basketball (around 18-25 age range)..

it was a good turnout overall for something that is not advertised well!

i thought it was good

i would love to see just a BBall one held it would be awesome!!!!

I think the crowd was pretty big, the carpark was pretty damn full.

Not too many Ball stalls though. However seen a few guys looking through Folders of cards and stuff!!!
