Here are our top five takeaways from the July 2021 Nashville Card Show: Full blog here - https://nooffseason.com/the-top-5-tak... 1. People are helpful and open-minded.   2. Card Shows are more valuable business lessons than school.  3. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.   4. Be weary of price stickers.   5. SGC Could Be King.   The hobby is alive and well. We saw people invigorated by sports cards. We thought there might be 20-30 people at Lighthouse Christian School in Antioch. Instead, there were ~150-200 all day long, and many kids.  A big shout out to Tri-Star Cards. Two young teenagers and their dad had a very well organized, size-able collection ranging from a $0.50 box all the way up to $1k+ slabs and a Panini Noir Basketball break they were selling slots for.  These young men were not only impressive from a card collection standpoint, but clearly were honorable young businessmen, talking to Max and I for a long time, sharing their story, discounting their cards for us, and even dropping me a free Cassius Winston rookie card since I'm a huge Michigan State fan.  Everyone was interested in a free pack of Panini Megacracks Soccer from Spain (La Liga) and was willing to learn who to collect from that set from Max and I.  The amount of currently untraceable transactions at card shows are a sign that eBay is far from the only place that cards are changing hands, which is amazing for the hobby and the business of the hobby moving forward.  The Nashville Card Show is free to attend, is typically twice a month and I highly recommend it.
