A day at the show:

[bdrr]

Went down to Frank and Sons this morning.... haven't been there in a long time. Wasn't really in a buying mood. There was a nice Oswalt/Zambrano Dual UC auto #/25 marked at $25, I offered $20, he said no, lol. So I shrugged it off. I did make some decent trades though:

Found a dealer who was looking for LA stuff

traded:
04-05 Fleer Showcase Autograph Lamar Odom #/99 BV$20 Miami Uni (cut signature)
2004 Throwback Threads Autograph Orlando Cabrera #/50 BV$20 Expo Uni (sticker)

got:
2000 Upper Deck Legends Legendary Signatures Phil Niekro BV$15 (on-the-card)
2002 Finest Moments Autograph Luis Aparico BV$15 (on-the-card)

Sure, I traded $10 in his favor, but seriously, two out of uniform band-aid autos for two on-the-card HOFers? I'd do that any day!

Another Angels/Dodgers guy

traded:
2005 Diamond Kings Tim Salmon Auto #/25 BV$40 (sticker)
2005 Prime Patches Patch Paul LoDuca #/9 BV=$25

got

2006 Sweet Spot Classics Signatures Billy Williams BV$30 (baseball)
2005 UD Origins Auto Khalil Greene BV$25 (on-the-card)

Again, I traded two nothing special cards I couldnt move for two very nice cards! Im thinking picked up Angel/Dodger/Laker stuff and trading it might be the way to go!

Finally... I found a Korean dealer who deals with Asian buyers via the net. He took the Kuo Triple Threads Auto/RC, which was creased (mint = $80), and $15 and I got:
2005 UD Hall of Fame Auto Jersey Mike Schmidt #/15 !
Card I payed very little for ($12) and was of no sell or trade use due to the crease, and a little cash upgrade for a great card!

Overall, very good show. Would have liked to have found some actual purchase deals, but I'll take what I got.
