Trading at the card show today and..........

[cornwellfamily]

Nothing! I was majorly disappointed. Went to the local card show today and with twenty dealers I thought we might be able to do some heavy trading today but with the exception of one dealer we had better trading cards then what was offered to trade and the one individual that had decent stuff only wanted to sell and not trade. This is the second show in a row where the dealers mostly wanted to sell. I think with the economy the way it is, trading might be going away. I hope not. What i was looking for was a Musial auto and a Banks auto if anyone wants to trade :http://www.flickr.com/photos/55686140@N08/

I have only been to one show in the last few years so I cannot speak to this issue. I will saythis, I find trading on sites, like this one,to be fun and helpful.
I know it is not the same as trading in person and building a friendship/ relationship with a fellow collector. I do think the days may be gone when that was how the hobby worked.
