Shawn Gates: Back & In-Person: 2022 Spring Sportcard & Memorabilia Expo Opens Tomorrow!

I've only gone once. When I first walked in, the first case I saw had two 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookies. Until that point, I'd never even seen one. Just gave me a feel for how big this show was.

Also, still trying to figure out how someone would transact $150,000 at a card show.

Yeah, I treat these shows almost like my museum visit! They may be selling, but I’m getting a chance to check out items I have never had in front of me like that! It’s pretty cool!

As to the cash? If I had $150,000 I would not be dropping it on a card! At that point you’ve obviously got F-you money to spare. I’m content at the pack/box level thank you very much!

I went to this show in person in November. Just sayin’.

Yup. I wasn't specific enough: this is the first Spring Expo to be in-person since pre-Covid.
