And I find that I don't really miss it all that much. It's often easier to find what I'm looking for online, and I'm less likely to make impulse purchases.<br /><br />But I do miss the grab bag guy.He was a casebreaker, and he'd dump whatever he couldn't sell into 400-count box for $5, with a guarantee of a relic or serial-numbered card. Granted, you never got anything super-special, but you got a lot more bang for your buck than buying a $5 foil pack.Paul Hadsallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886355050567035004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-52243396044065033352015-01-14T17:27:07.460-05:002015-01-14T17:27:07.460-05:00I tend to do the "pull out the wallet as slow...I tend to do the "pull out the wallet as slowly as possible" to try to get somebody's attention. The National was the absolute worst. Dealers were sitting 5 feet back from the booth on their laptops or phones, not paying any attention to customers.

What really ticks me off is when I'm ready to pay for the cards and I can't get the guy's attention, which happens way more often than it should. If you run a table at a card show, you should at least say "Hi" to your customers. I don't think that's too much to ask.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-31323314704607099672015-01-14T17:12:18.571-05:002015-01-14T17:12:18.571-05:00I think you nailed it.
