Card shows can be a lot of fun, and you can get caught up gawking at a lot of cool cards. Time can fly by quickly. But it’s best to have a specific goal. Are you primarily going to buy? Sell? Invest? Add to your personal collection? Developing a plan will save you time and frustration. Set a budget so that you know what cards you can afford, but ex...
One of the biggest benefits of card shows is being able to inspect raw cards in person as opposed to relying on photos online. This is especially true for vintage cards. As basketball has become more globally popular, vintage NBA and ABA cards have generated lots of focus, especially considering the 1950s and 1960s don’t have much to choose from. S...
It’s fun to stare at rare high-dollar cards, but you can find some awesome cards and deals hiding in those large-count boxes. Most vendors acquire these boxes in bulk from collections, so these cards are typically priced in the $1 to $10 range. Prices can be out of date with current values if vendors didn’t have time to go through and update every ...
Most vendors who regularly set up at shows stay on top of current values, so expect prices to be fair but on the higher end. Have market tools and platforms, such as the Beckett Online Price Guide and eBay, ready to search on your phone. Don’t assume you know the current market values of all the cards you’re looking for, because you’ll inevitably c...
Bring plenty of cash—big and small bills. Cash is the easiest and fastest way to buy and sell. One of the most attractive things about shows is the cards are right there. It’s a fast transaction. No waiting on mail days or tracking your online order. Larger shows regularly have five-figure cash deals go down on the show floor. Most vendors also acc...
Secondary market prices typically dip in the offseason, especially for last season’s rookie class when current cards of the new rookie class release. So, this is a great time to buy. Prices can begin to rise just before the season starts, as collectors speculate on which players will have great seasons. The negative side of shows during the basketb...
Even if your goal isn’t to sell, it’s always a good idea to bring hot cards with you even if you don’t want to get rid of them. You never know what you’re going to come across, and you might find cards that you want more than the cards you bring. You might also find some great deals that you can’t pass up, even if you intend to quickly profit off s...
This is one of the most overlooked and undervalued benefits of attending card shows. Make some time to meet vendors and other collectors. Even if they don’t have what you’re looking for at the show, they may have it in their larger inventory, or they may know someone else who does have what you’re looking for. Sometimes, deals need to be completed ...
This tip can have some negatives and positives. On the positive side, walking the entire show floor before making a big purchase can let you compare prices and conditions of cards. Most vendors don’t want to be undercut and are willing to match or beat a better price you find for the same card in the same grade or condition. This gives you more tim...
When walking the show floor, you’re certainly going to see a lot of cards you want to get as soon as you see them. It’s easy to forget which cards you’re interested in and what tables they are at throughout the show. Take pictures with your phone and possibly make notes of the prices and location of the cards. Once you’ve gone through the entire sh...
