Made it back from Chicago. Had a great time seeing all the collectors that stopped thru the booth over the course of the week - that is definitely the best part of attending a show. I brought 82 gloves to Chicago with me and sold 47 of them - that's a pretty good percentage. There were a lot of other glove transactions in my booth from people bringing stuff in to sell or trade - it was fun to watch the excitement of collectors opening a bag or box and finding a new treasure. In walking the show, I didn't see too many things that excited me. I bought 2 gloves the entire week - both were for resale. Rob bought one of them from me 2 seconds after I made the purchase even though I gave him the opportunity to purchase it from the dealer.
If there were any good or unique gloves, you had to be on them right away or they were gobbled up quickly.
Special thanks to Rob who helped me throughout the week - unloading the car and keeping an eye on the booth when nature called. It's always a blast to hang out with glove buddies and bust each others balls about our nerdy glove knowledge.
