Conroe Card Show

A competitive TCG show pulled away much of the TCG crowd (which I am fine with), so the show felt less busy, but it did not affect the sports crowd.

Again, post-sponsor means you need to pick your spot quickly. We took a different approach, going near the secondary door and the corner. We did well selling a few big case hits early ($15k), but the buying did feel a bit limited.

We did make the most of the opportunities that we had and landed multiple Ohtani rookies along with two Roman Anthony rookies from one gentleman, and we landed an Ohtani patch auto and took a flier on a CSG graded Ohtani Downtown from another. A couple other highlights were a 2025 Immaculate Mahomes auto and a rare 2017 Topps Heritage Aaron Judge rookie in a BGS 10. Thus, the spot is not as important as you become a bit more established.

The standout pickup — a Kobe Bryant Go-Nuts PSA 9. Proof that even a quiet show pays off when the right cards cross the table.

Update: the Ohtani Downtown was graded a 9 by PSA, so worth the risk.
