Sportsfest was pretty solid this weekend.

Friday was one of the best first-days we ever had, with a lot of action in the autograph area and tons of buying and selling between dealers and customers.
Saturday’s traffic was a little on the light side, probably because it was so nice outside, but Sunday was very busy. There was constant floor traffic yesterday and it was really cool to see all the pro wrestlers in the autograph area. Talk about some nice guys that were willing to chat with their fans and smile for a picture.

Good stuff.

I had an interesting Saturday. SCD had a professional camera crew come in to tape our annual “What’s it Worth Day”. Bob Lemke and I were the experts on the sports side and we were happy to evaluate people’s items for about five hours straight.

The video, sponsored by Mr. Mint, will be featured on our website in the next few weeks.

It was really good to see some familiar faces again. I had some nice talks with American Memorabilia’s Victor and Kieta, card dealer Rick Giddings, the Memory Lane crew, card dealer Bob McLean and Gameusedforum.com’s Chris Cavalier among many other dealers.

Everybody really enjoyed the new Schaumburg facility and hotel. I really was impressed and was very excited about our hotel room, which had a flat-screen TV in the bathroom mirror. At first I thought having this feature in our room was kind of pointless, but it was very cool that I got to watch Sportscenter while brushing my teeth.
