We quickly made our way around the room of tables, finding mostly slabbed and overprice Phillies cards, and very little of anything more than a few decades' old. Luckily, I spotted a cheese box of "Older Baseball Cards" at one table, and came away with a nice stack of 1955 Bowmans and 1959 Topps cards, two sets I'm not yet officially collecting. (My 1969 Topps blog and set build is on pause until our summer schedules calm down a little.)
The autograph process was slightly disorganized, given all signers were seated in the same medium-sized conference room. Doug's only goal was getting Ron Reed to sign his Wall of Fame print from last summer, and I took advantage of the timing of Reed's visit, buying autograph tickets to a few favorites of mine signing around the same time. All four former players we interacted with - Ozzie Virgil, Reed, Sixto Lezcano and Dave Hollins - were gracious with their time and happy to chat with fans. None of them hesitated when Doug asked if we could take a quick photo. Overall it was a good experience and if Authentic Expo hosts something similar in 2024, we'll be back.

I thought it was a great show and told them that on the way out. I ended up getting in pictures with 10 players and got to chat with most of them a bit as well. And the prices for autographs were not too bad. I hope Authentic Expo runs another show there in the future.
