My first trip to Gibralter

[fiveforfighting]

well...as alot of the Michiganders know...There is a little show in Mt. Clemens at the Gibralter Trade Center. Not only is there a card show once a month but its one of the biggest indoor flea markets i have ever seen....my 11yr old boy and i have never seen so many people selling Bongs and Cell phones in one place before..

on to the show..i spent a total of 20.00 at Gibralter and that includes 2 sodas and 2 pretzels(sour dough)....Those that had tables set up were more than happy to trade at BV.. thats almost unheard of at the local show except for member Pricedogg...heres the goods

1st for sets im working on

now...since my traders were so thin i picked up a couple new ones

i just liked the patch on this 1st one

so...not to bad and we had a great time...hope to get back over there again

the traders are available for needs ONLY and on the hot pros needs they need to be 2 colors minimum...thanks for the look and sorry for the long read

comments always welcome and appreciated...

Thanks for the plug Fred. I'm sure you had to give up some those Wings you been stashing away.

Its too bad you didnt make it over there in the heyday of the hobby, the show was 3-4 times bigger than waht was down there this weekend and you had problems walking through with all of the people there.

I was down there this morning and walked out with only spending $1.75, but then I had to buy the kid lunch and said goodbye to a $20 real quick!!

Not sure what happened, but I wonder why they didnt have any autograph guests this weekend? Usually they have 2-3 people each day?? I saw Petry was listed for today but I didnt see any lines for him anywhere.

I haven't been to the Gibraltar show in over 5 years. Glad to see it's still up and running.
