A great card show!!…read more Sports cards and sports-related memorabilia from dozens of vendors are available on eight designated Saturdays each year at this marvelous collectors' convention at the Machinists Hall in Bridgeton, MO. It reminds me of my favorite card show back in San Leandro California - not too big to be overwhelming, not too small that there's no real variety or bargains to be had. The focus is largely on baseball, although basketball, hockey and football items can also be found, in and out of season ...heck, today I saw NASCAR cards!! Prices are very good, and I've seen actual trading and negotiating taking place between some sellers and customers. I've been attending these shows for awhile now ... I love looking at old baseball cards that I had before my Mom threw them out. I always enjoy seeing the incredible items that people have collected (signed balls bats, card, helmets) ... and I usually buy a few cards for myself, even on my limited budget. Admission is free. Ample free parking. Kid-friendly!!

We were here to buy some cards because we're a very big collector and we got some hockey cards and…read morethey actually had Sidney Crosby and I'm surprised because not a lot of places have them and we actually pulled it out of the packet and it was actually very expensive but we went to go sell it for $1020 and a lot of the other stuff was very cheap and they had tons of sports Pokémon and action figures Service was very good you're so nice he gave it to my seven year old son Ayadi silver gold glove fruit you're supposed to be $15 but he gave it to him for 10.

I had reserved a hobby box of 24/25 extended series online for $140 and then found the same ones here for a $114 so I think it's safe to say that, he's very competitive. I will definitely be back and definitely recommend you check it out!!

I am decluttering my house, and I had a few boxes of comic books. They were in decent shape but…read morenot mint condition. I went to a couple local shops and they were not even interested in looking at what I had. I took them to All American and left a box with Dave and he made me an offer. I could see that prices on Comic Book Sites were higher for some of the comics but I had no interest in becoming a seller on E-Bay. He explained to me why he was offering me the price, and I accepted. I brought another box in, and he reviewed it and offered me significantly more for those issues. He was very forthright that I could get more for them taking time to sell them myself but I was able to convert old memories that did not interest my children into several hundred dollars. You will need to allow him some time, often several days or more to review if you have a lot. I would strongly recommend All American and it is a really friendly place.

It's a fun store to look around while the employees value your stuff. The employees are usually the owners (I guess owners can be employees!). They are brothers, Bob and John, and a sister and I believe the spouse of the sister. (I've met Bob and John, but the rest I got from the website.) My favorite thing about Train Town is that the employees are happy to see you, even when you come in with a box of old stuff trains that are so tiny they can't even work on those trains, and even when you arrive with under half an hour until closing time. They don't ask a bunch of questions because they know how to assess the trains. They are so friendly that I look forward to each return.
