I normally run two tables at a show but only if the table cost justifies it. Tables at this show were $90, which was pretty good for the size of the show, but I would have to sell a lot of cards just to break even.
You mentioned the value boxes being sorted by team, but I’d like to know more. Is everything toploaded, just sleeved, etc? Do you only deal with certain price points in them? How do you select what to put into them versus what you post on eBay? Would love to hear more on that.
@@TripleCrown24 definitely will be waiting on that. I know it’s a seller by seller basis, but could also be region/city by region/city or even show by show.
@@TripleCrown24 Also what “is” a “value” box? Is it items being sold for below comps, or is it just a box of stuff that’s below a particular price point?
I had a decent show. The post-Thanksgiving to Christmas stretch is notoriously slow and I usually know I'm going to have to take a lot of small gains on cheaper cards, or trade for some cash on my larger stuff and try to move what I get back in the trade. Having prepared for that, I would say I did alright, but there was room for improvement on my end.

Super cool video! Always enjoy seeing a behind the scenes look at a dealer’s setup.
Thanks! I'll be trying to do more like this one in the future.
@@TripleCrown24 Awesome!
can’t wait to do my first show
Great look at the process and setup! Clean, organized, simple! I like it
Appreciate it, those are the words I'm striving more in my setup!
Nice setup JT! I've used the cardboard boxes for my cases since 1998, lol. Never did update to fancy covers.
Thanks! Have your cases held up well in the cardboard boxes? I haven't had any problems yet but I worry about durability long-term.
@@TripleCrown24 One of mine got a little scratched up when I let someone else use them at a big show.
Nice heads up on setting up at a show!!
Thanks!
Love this series man, keep doing them!
Thanks brother!
Thanks for setting up with us! Great video!
Appreciate it, Brad! Thanks for having me
Love these type of videos JT! Digging the setup and your new table cover. Looks great and hope the show was a success!
Thanks Ed! It was a success, I hope to do more behind the scenes stuff like this in the future.
Cool dealer perspective 😎
Thanks!
@TripleCrown24 maybe start with that then do your sales and then pickups
Very cool video JT! I hope to one day get to visit you at a show where you’re set up.
Thanks man, hope you make it to my neck of the woods sometime!
Nice setup JT
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing and really like the new setup.
Thanks!
You could have used 1 more table if you had any sealed boxes and mystery items bags or boxes with card's and Pack's plus toy or candy's.

The table cover is awesome!
Thanks!
Good setup

Would love to hear more on that.
Instead of writing out a long response, I think that's a great idea for a future video. Stay tuned.

How was the show? Did you do well? This last week has been super slow for me. Sales are down maybe 80%. Just curious how an actual show went.

Did you do a vid on your bcw bins? Those look sweet!
I have not but there are some out there!
Great Vid! What showcases do you use?

What type of labelmaker do you use?
It's an old P-Touch that's been in the family since the early 2000s lol.
@@TripleCrown24 Thank you sir. I enjoy your videos.
