That’s awesome, I set up for my first show in November and it was great. I would recommend a couple things.
1. Make sure cards are displayed nicely. This may be a personal thing, but I am much more enticed to look at tables with display cases and pricing on the cards. I am usually not drawn to random cards laid out on a table with no pricing. You can get stuff like display cases and price guns for really cheap on Amazon.
2. Understand the demographic attending the show. With my first show, I mistakenly brought too high end of cards. The show was a lot of younger kids and newer collectors who weren’t interested in some of my cards at their price points, which I completely understand. I just wish I had brought some lower end cards.
3. This was a personal thing, but be open to buying. I have been selling on Ebay and WhatNot for a while now, and I struggle with maintaining enough inventory. When me and a friend set up at this show, we bought a few cards from a kid there, and pretty soon word got around that we were buying. I was able to pickup and trade for some good inventory while I was there.
