Hey guys i'll be working/ selling at my 1st card show in March 3rd. I am kinda nervous and wondering what you guys like to see at a show?
I know what i like but with others being potential buyers what do you like?

I am going to have cheep boxes w/ base @.10 each and inserts at .25 each.
Some jersey cards and autos for 3 each or 4 for 10.

Few higher end cards and some sports mcfairlains as well..... so with that said what else should i do?

Thanks.

PS. i am doing this to support my hobby and get rid of stuff not worth of going on ebay.

This show is in palinville Ma and will have 2 signing guests the 1st show.
Anthony Sherman - Cardinals FB Local kid
Zak Deossie- Giants LB/LS & Captain also 2x super bowl champ. Went to Brown university.

I would just like to see card show in Louisiana.

That's exactly what I like to see. Boxes full of cheap inserts that I can sit there and sift through to find my common PC players. Also non-hot RCs, GU, au cards for 60-75% off. Basically, dealers who want to actually sell their cards rather than just show them off.

Prices on cards so I don't have to ask is a big one for me. I'm looking at multiple cards, so I don't want to be like "how much is this one, and this, then this one...". ya know? Or you could just put them in like a this case is $15, this case is $5 kinda thing, I've seen some do that.

Another pet peeve of mine at the shows - Rude dealers. Seems easy enough, but I encounter this alot. A thank you goes a long way.

And the simplest, imo - Fair prices. Not too high that your card can be bought elsewhere, and not too low that you're cheating yourself...imo that equals fair.

Best of luck at the show, hope you have fun!!

Take everything you want to sell. Nothing worse than asking if you have any Daniel Thomas only to be told you left them at home lol

Local teams and players......

Jessica Alba
A healthy competition between dealers
A table that has non-Jeremy Lin items
More actual friendly small-talk instead of sizing up the dealer/customer
And Jessica Alba

Aside from alba, small talk is key, I find it very hard to approach tables at shows where the dealer is just sitting down, not paying any attention until someone takes out their wallet.

Also either have the opg or the beckett book handy if ppl want to haggle.

And dividing things by team or set also helps, especially with local teams and lettermen, but I usually see people buy in bulk when they don't have to sift through a few hundred cards, time is money after all.
