No plan

Tomorrow will be the day that I hit the monthly card show.  With the show still kind of new to me, I've decided for the 2nd straight month to go without a specific plan of action.  I may get there and decide to focus on these...


or these...


or even chase a few of these...


I could also take some time and chase some A&G, Leafs/Blue Jays, or try and snag a few hockey cards from the 80's (another portion of my collection that I want to augment). 

Unlike the show up north where I knew what dealers I was going to hit, and thus what lists to bring, this new show for me is still a learning experience.  I probably will not have the time to hit all the tables again this time, but I'm hoping to find a few more dealers that I can become comfortable with.  There's certainly enough tables there to at least find more than just 1 or 2 to frequent on a regular basis.

After all, there has to be more than 1 dealer there that has these...right?


Helping reduce a want list or two might become part of the no plan plan.

Thanks for reading, Robert

  2. I like the "no plan" card shows. I got lectured once when I said on the blog that I had no plan, but I enjoy the freedom sometimes.

  3. Whenever I go to a card show (which just happens to be tomorrow), I usually never have a plan. I just go with it. It's a lot more fun that way and I can enjoy the show a lot more.

  4. I spent most of my life going to shows without a plan... Sometimes you find some awesome stuff that you might not see if you were focused on 1964 (just to arbitrarily chose a set that you'd mentioned).

    I've also recently become reacquainted with the concept of going in to a show to work on a specific set, and that can be a lot of fun as well... but for me it's usually no plan (or maybe "92 plans" is closer to the truth).
