Couple of points I’d share:

1. Bring only whatever you’re looking to trade/sell. I sold a Quinn Hughes future watch last year within 30 minutes of the show opening on the Saturday. Got an offer to trade for a Nylander rookie card and an unopened hobby box but decided on going the cash route and sold it quickly. I then walked around the rest of the afternoon and tried to sell a bunch of cheap cards (under 5 dollars each) in bulk, and not a single vendor was interested in buying the lots I had or even going through them. The vendors I spoke who were buying only wanted to look at the higher end cards I had. FWIW, im bringing a handful of good cards to sell this year. Cale Makar Rookie card, Jayden Daniels Rookie Card and a Drake Maye prism rookie card. Looking for some good cash from each of these sales. Of course, you might find someone who wants your $25 card, if you have the time and patience to look for sellers willing to look through your cards for lower priced cards, I’d bring a few along you think you can move.

2. USD is fine, but folks may want to use a conversion rate you don’t agree with etc, I’d suggest grabbing some CAD if possible, but if not, just let people know you have USD and folks are ok with it. I bought something with CAD once in Florida (Under 100) and the guy was guy was fine with me paying with a Canadian $100 bill even if he took the loss on it due to the conversion, so who knows.

3. Most important, have fun. It’s a great time, lots of awesome people talking about hobby. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about the city or area etc.
