Chantilly Card Show - June 22nd

Well today’s trip took me up to Chantilly, VA!! While is was a long 2 hour drive I still enjoyed every last second of it and would love to go again. I got to see Trevor Lawrence up in person, tried to talk to him but failed miserably…. Found some good cards for the Bears PC! I was digging in a few boxes and found a Jay Cutler /25, I knew I should have picked it up just now thinking about it. I’ll never see that card again. Good old Smoking Jay… Anyways, while diving I ended up helping my uncle find new cards and cards for his checklists. The best part of the show was getting up to Trevor Lawrence and seeing him up in person. Here’s a picture of how close I was.


I didn’t spend all the money I went up there with but some how I walked out with more than I brought… I’m proud of myself for that but I wish I did grab some of the stuff I did see, it would go great for my inventory for my card show up in Roanoke. While I was up at the show I did open a retail box of 2024 Series 2 and opened it with my uncle hoping to pull that damn Jackson Holiday card. Long story short we didn’t pull it, but I did pulled a Vintage Stock /99 card, an Adley Rutschman /299 for my uncles Collection. Pulled a couple of other numbered cards that are worth a little bit. But after our little rip and lunch we decided to go back and search for more cards. We did find a “Hidden box” which was full of crazy cards, I found me a Snake Skin SSP tee Higgins cards, /25 Packers card and much more. I know I couldn’t pass on that. All the cards in the box were .25 cents so of course me and Ryan took that to an advantage and dove right into the box. I think it was a pretty successful day at Chantilly. I can’t wait until next time and to buy more stuff!

Tanglewood card show pickups

Well today I was lucky enough to hit a gold mine at my local card show in the Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke, VA. My first stop was all my buddy’s that I usually buy from but unfortunately it’s all the same stuff I’ve already looked at. I was mainly looking for bears and Justin Fields cards but there was absolutely nothing I wanted except a few things. I was lucky enough to find a Justin Fields Ohio State Autograph. Which was such an amazing hit for my PC! 


I couldn’t believe the price he wanted for it, he gave me such a good deal since I’ve bought from him a couple of times so of course I had to take it. Anyways, I was thinking that I was going to be able to complete some bears sets and find some Justin Fields that I haven’t seen yet or got for my collection but that didn’t go as planned. Since there was nothing else that I wanted I decided to look for Orioles cards for my uncle. Well I hit the gold mine, I completed the whole 2024 Topps Series 1 set for him and some other cards that he needed for his collection. After that I didn’t see anything until I came across a box that had “FREE” written on it. The box had TONS of orioles memorabilia, signed baseballs, pictures, and cards. I couldn’t believe what I had hit. So I grabbed everything that had a orioles logo on it. I walked out with a whole handful of stuff. 


I can’t believe that the guy had just put all that stuff in the box and give it away for free. I know I stood there for a whole 10 minutes looking through the box. Well worth it!!! I think I’ll be saving up until the next Chantilly card show. Until next time BEAR DOWN! 🐻⬇️
