Collect-A-Con

Anyone going to Pokécon, I mean Collect-A-Con, here in a few weeks in Dallas, TX?

It would be fun to meet up with some E4ites. Me and @kantoshark will be at a booth. Just look for a couple 6 and half foot white dudes.

Lol they removed all mention of Pokémon and the Pokémon card giveaway to entrants

Probably so they don’t get sued

A non-sponsored event in the middle of a global pandemic… surprised it took this long for that to happen.

Looking forward to the convention and running this booth! Please stop by and say hey!

Congrats on Dallas, Texas being immune to Covid!

I bought tickets a while back. Still undecided about going, but I’ll be on the lookout!

Was great to finally meet @garyis2000 in person! Holding a BGS 10 Zard was pretty cool too I guess.

nice, a million in the right hand, a million in the left hand.

I stopped by briefly yesterday. the crowd was pretty good, but since we are still in the midst of the pandemic, it was a bit unsettling - def some folks were not wearing mask at all and 0 social distancing. i did get my 1st vaccine shot last week, so hopefully once i get my 2nd next month, i will be a bit more daring in May to do more public gathering…

however, it was great to see a lot of collectors come out. this is a bit different from regionals. a lot of graded slabs and vintage cards to be seen. i did buy myself a card to add to my shiny binder collection from Shining Fates.

all around, healthy event and a sign that pokemon is doing great!

“sigh” I wish I could have gone. I would love for something to come back to the East Coast. I did not really realize what was happening till it was too late the last time the EC had a convention like this. Hopefully soon!

I convinced @oldskoolpokemon to come Thursday night. We had a great time. We went non-stop the whole show.

Found a few great buys. There will be another in a few months (late summer).

Unless you wanted to just meet people everything had higher prices than eBay.

Are you going to that one? If I’m not working I may fly in, assuming I’ve had my vaccine shot by then.
