Going to your First Card Show

Take a full walk-around of the venue before buying.

Going in with a budget is important, so taking a look at all the cards in cases before buying will allow you to set your biggest priority cards before you run out.

Bring enough cash, some dealers don't accept online payments.

If you accidentally run out, many venues will have an ATM nearby. For the vendors that do accept online payments, Venmo and PayPal are the most commonly used methods.

Don't be afraid to make a deal!

Many dealers will accept a lower deal on their cards if you ask nicely and are reasonable, especially if you are buying multiple cards at once.
