Southern California Sports Collectors Show Recap
I mentioned last week that there was going to be a card show in Culver City this past weekend. I was excited to attend this show since there hasn't been a show in Los Angeles in a couple of years.
I showed up to the auditorium at noon and met up with Greg from Plaschke, Thy Sweater Is Argyle. He was in the middle of making a purchase so I decided to look through some of the boxes and bought a couple of Trevor Bauer rookie cards. Afterwards, I headed over to chat with Spiegel from Nomo's Sushi Platter who set up a table at the show. I spent most of my time talking sports since more of the collectors at the show were selling vintage and I'm not into collecting vintage cards. I also met Ernest from Dodgers Blue Heaven. He always plugs my blog when there's a player appearance. It was great to finally meet him.
Lunch time means going to the best taco spot in Los Angeles: Tito's Tacos!
I decided to look around one more time before I had to head home and I found some nice low-end relics and autographs that I could use as tradebait. I made one purchase for a total of 24 cards but I had to haggle with the seller since he didn't know much about any of the players I was interested in. I will say that I got a hell of a deal and can't complain.
Here's what I was able to get:

The only two cards that are not available are the Matt Kemp and Russell Martin Allen & Ginter Relics. Everything else is available for trade.
There might be another show in a couple of months and I'm debating if I should set up a table at the show to help clear space. Thanks for taking the time to read this recap.
