Took everyone’s advice and went to the Northeast Sports Card Expo in Quincy, MA. I was overwhelmed as there were hundreds of vendors with so many cards so I focused on getting my eyes on most of the slabs. I’m sure I missed out on some raw card deals, however I wanted to make a move on a gem 💎
Ended up scooping the shadowless charmander, so I was very happy. Next to Pikachu there was the Gillette Stadium announcer announcing the raffle for that hour. All different MA mascots, auto tables, and even some familiar faces as I was able to catch up with vendor Felt Fanatic of Salem, MA who I met long ago collecting vintage clothes through the New England area.
Great experience, talked to lots of people, wasn’t able to trade or sell the couple slabs I brought but I didn’t care. Parking lot was packed to the gills. And the Pats pulled out the win, W day! Thanks for voting for me to go
