Raleigh show this weekend- Who needs what?
I'm heading to the Raleigh card show on Sunday (normally I like to go on Saturdays so stuff isn't picked over, but I'm not missing my college football
. I'll have a very limited spending budget but I always bring lots of stuff to trade. Anything anybody would like me to keep an eye out for? Aside from the usual Henderson autos for our two competing GH collectors
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!

RE: Raleigh show this weekend- Who needs what?
I'll be there Sunday, I think. I'm working on 3 collections currently, 09-10 UD (Masterpieces first, Dual Game and 3D next), Gerald Wallace (Cause Hendo is too picked over, haha) and now my ROY. I'll be by myself and I need somebody to show me the ropes, so one of you guys going shoot me a PM and maybe we can coordinate, if that doesn't sound like a man-date I don't know what does. But seriously, I need to know how to talk to these sales guys, how to work trades, not that I feel like I have much to trade...etc.

RE: Raleigh show this weekend- Who needs what?
So I learned an important lesson this weekend..
Don't go to weekend card shows just on Sunday, cause people are leaving early and stuff is long gone!
I love some college football so I couldn't go yesterday, and there just wasn't much today. I did get a couple OSU football cards, but that was about it. However, I did pick up a box of 95-96 Fleer for $12 just to have some box busting fun. No big pulls cause there's not much to be pulled, but the guy threw in 3 packs of 97-98 Topps...saw a Rock Stars card in one and got excited cause I need the MJ...
then saw the bottom of the back and it was a refractor, so I got REALLY excited...
Turns out it was the only other guy to lead his team to multiple titles in the 90's...Hakeem Olajuwon. Still a really nice pull from a free pack! Also grabbed a couple cheap GU cards (J-Kidd and Steph Curry, both /399). But that's it. Sorry I couldn't help anybody out!
Edit: @roberto, I couldn't find anything in that 09-10 UD realm, but I actually have a few of the dual games and the masterpieces as well. Check my org and LMK if I have any of your needs.

sorry to the card show was not that good.. but finding a cheap box is always a nice find...
the monthly card show (if they still have it) in San Diego, never has any boxes... only singles... I haven't gone in a few years.. waste of time..

This one usually has very little wax as well. This time, however, a new guy was there and he had TONS of wax from all sports. Nothing I could afford, of course, but he had it at least lol
