Back home and my entire review
My second day was much better than the first. I bought alot again and was able to meet us with cyber ( Who I did the favor of taking 40k cards off his hands lol ), good guy and got to see all his box breaks. So overall count of cards bought was around 70 thousand. Going to take more than a month to process. It was really nice to see alot of youth there supporting the hobby strictly for collecting and no profit motives. It was a very nice setup and pretty organized. Id say I was still a little disappointed with the overall uniqueness of each booth. Seems like it was alot of the same but there were some awesome things going on like on site paintings and framing and seeing the swamp find in person was awesome. There is also a booth with thousands of game used items from all four sports...almost found a colbert jersey ( There were a bunch of other carolina scrubs), I do wish I would have found more high end stuff that wasnt over priced but I bought a good majority of the inserts in the place lol. And if you are planning on going to the national next year I WILL be set up ( So it will be a good home base to drop stuff off and what not.
I did find a few things for some members. I found other stuff but like I said prices sucked at alot of booths.
To all who are still there GL with breaking, redemption's, and finding some PC deals.
If you are not going and have never been to one you really have to go to understand the magnitude of this place...you cant really describe it.
Once again cyber nice meeting you in person and GL to me going through all those cards lol.
