[@brad8671]

Great observations from the show. I noticed alot of nice Nolan Ryan, Larry Bird, & Jordan Love's sitting in cases still at the end of the show Saturday.

[@AlaskaSportsCards]

Thanks! Oh yes, I saw a lot of Jordan Love’s as well. Were the Ryan’s and Bird’s typically high end?

[@brad8671]

I would like to go to the National, but being from CA not sure the travel cost is worth it. I'm not sure I want to spend $1500-$2500 in just expenses, you can really get some cool cards for that amount of money. For now, I'll stick with the Burbank show that's down the street from me (3 miles), but I would like to attend the National one day.

[@AlaskaSportsCards]

That’s fair. Lucky to be so close to the Burbank show!

[@jamesher7835]

Burbank show is the place to go in California

[@ARMENASSATURIAN]

I checked comps on videos THE PRICES ARE TOO HIGH WAY ABOVE COMPSAND THE CARDS ARE NOT HARD TO FIND

[@AlaskaSportsCards]

@@ARMENASSATURIAN yeah I think a lot of the dealers price stuff higher to leave room for negotiation. I didn’t pay sticker price for anything.

[@KevinJL]

What about Mike Trout?

[@AlaskaSportsCards]

This is another great example of a cold player. Can’t say that I saw any purchased or heard someone asking for Trout.

You’re from alaska!?!? We were just vacationing there before the national. Where abouts are you from in alaska? We were all over the state.

[@AlaskaSportsCards]

Yup-been up here for around eight years. I’m in Southcentral-general Anchorage area. How was the vacation?

[@jrgeb99]

@@AlaskaSportsCards nice! Vacation was great! We go there a lot. 3 times in 5 years.
