When I started this blog in 2008, there were four card shows within an hour's driving distance every year, plus a town-wide garage sale that featured one seller with a card inventory so large that it might as well be a show. Well, a few years ago, some spoil sport bought the entire filing cabinet that held that garage sale seller's collection, whittling my in-person card purchasing opportunities to four. Then, earlier this year, I found out that the card show that I attend in January every year was canceled and might never return. Down to three. Over the last two weeks, I've slowly discovered that the smaller show in Clayton -- a show that has been active every year since long before I moved to the area -- is not happening. That show previously went off on this weekend every July, and I usually attended on Saturday, this very day. We're down to two. Two shows for the whole year, while I read about others going to monthly shows, or twice monthly shows. Arrgh.
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
