Woburn Sports Card Show

Been here a few times... It's hit or miss. I brought my son here most recently this past May. It was great trying to explain to him what the aroma in the air was... it was weed. A few of the vendors were high as a kite, and the aroma was robust near their tables. I was also trying to sell a few PC cards, including a Mario Lemieux 3rd year PSA authenticated auto. One of the vendors low balled me saying "Autos make cards worth less." On the other hand, we visited early this year and found some good deals with vendors who weren't clearly high and/or jerks.

This is a small long running show and it's convenient because it's every weekend. However they charge admission which is kind if crazy given the small number of vendors. There is a raffle for several low end Boston sports autographed cards which I never win, but whatever. Was rather annoyed last time I went because I showed up at 10:45, supposed to run til at least noon and half of the vendors were already packing up to leave. The dealers at this show have gotten increasingly more expensive and pushy when it comes to pricing. Way too many overpriced retail blaster boxes, not too much hobby selection, and cheap singles except for one old time dealer are scarce. Also last time I went the guy that sells supplies was not there and that was the main reason I went. I'll go, but I've been less than thrilled with this show lately. I've gotten good deals in the past but it's becoming a harder find in Woburn.
