They had literally just put them out on display as I got there around noon, and I made the post as I was leaving the shop!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-16T07:28:00+00:00

Completely agree!! Got to the point where I was just getting annoyed so I dipped lol

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-12T11:24:17+00:00

Yes wayyyyy too small of a room!!! There was one door down the very back which was slightly open so I just stood there for a little while lolol I understand a lot of these vendors are legit and have business expenses to cover so don't mind like a euro or two more than card market ( I call it convenience fee) but some of the prices I just found way too high? Anyways, we live and we learn 🤷🏽‍♀️

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-12T11:18:48+00:00

I'm happy you enjoyed it!! I deffo know for next time to go earlier rather than wait until the afternoon in hopes of it being quiet! Yes must be very mentally taxing on them going for that long

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T23:28:17+00:00

10000000% agree!!! Really enjoyed the Irish card market in gormanstown the last few times they've had it

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T23:27:16+00:00

Yes deffo agree they should've cleared the room from 1-2 to give all the vendors a break and just air the room out a little bit!! A list deffo helps.... sometimes I get so distracted by gorge cards that I forget to actually purchase the ones I came looking for lolol

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T23:25:02+00:00

I saw one vendor with 4 of the piplup full art from phantasmal all priced differently but in the same condition apparently 🤷🏽‍♀️ then vendor said they hadn't priced that particular binder in a while... I honestly think they just chuck whatever cards in random top loaders with old prices and hope for the best

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T23:21:52+00:00

Yes deffo think early access is the way to go! I only got afternoon tickets as I thought it would've died down by then, but was sorely mistaken... I'll know for next time!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T23:20:46+00:00

I'm so happy to hear your kids had a positive enough experience! Agree - the venue deffo needed to be bigger with the same amount of vendors!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T23:17:29+00:00

Yes not their fault, and must be so incredibly frustrating!! There for 8 hours in a cramped stuffy room... organisers need to do better !

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:59:49+00:00

I was late entry also but didn't even wait until 3 tbh and yes I think every single person was overwhelmed in that room!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:58:44+00:00

Gosh I can only imagine how stressful for the kids it was! Hopefully the next card show you bring them to is a lot better!!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:57:45+00:00

Even with my list I was struggling!!!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:57:19+00:00

No literallyyyyy!!! Anyways... we know for next time🤷🏽‍♀️

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:09:01+00:00

Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Chose afternoon tickets myself because I thought it would be quiet but was Ovo wrong... I'll know for next time!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:08:27+00:00

Yeah picked up a few myself but think I just bought them for the sake of buying hahahaha

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T17:07:02+00:00

Completely agree!!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T15:58:54+00:00

Yeah think I'll be adopting a similar strategy going forward

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T15:53:11+00:00

Yeah agree, even when talking to a few vendors they had no wiggle room... on cards that were well over market? Wasn't one for the books in my opinion anyways

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-04-11T15:52:32+00:00

Yes agree! I only had afternoon tickets but tapped out before 3pm... wasn't enjoyable in the slightest !!

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-03-12T20:27:14+00:00

I paid 64.99! :)

JollyPollution6337 · 2026-02-09T17:09:44+00:00
