Just did another 2 day show this weekend. luckily I lived 20 minuted away and
had no hotel costs. Show was okay, but as with every show this fall the people
were not spending money on cards or toys.

Lots of people buying autographed photos(like I believe you can get real autos
of some of these people for $15-50).

The big money was spent on Boot legged videos. There were at least 8 dealers
for a total of about 22-25 tables of merchandise. I can't tell you how many
dealers I saw with movies that haven't even been released to the theaters yet.
I could get Shrek 2 Movie 2 months ago for $10. Now I understand that people
are mad are Hollywood for charging $30-$50 for DVDs, but buying these movies
from dealers for $15 that cost them maybe $2 and then complaining about the
cost of sets or chase cards when we are paying $50 plus per box and are barely
breaking even.

Anyway time to go post on e-bay. All the good stuff that I didn't sell this
weekend.
