How Leighton Sheldon Built a "thriving vintage card business in Hoboken"

Here's an interesting article about a person who built up a nice business in the sports card industry. Refreshing not to hear the same old demise of the industry bit in this story. A good read.

ahhhhh.... the key words here are "graded vintage".

When I do card shows the guys with the graded vintage seem to always be the busiest. Sure they don't sell many $10K cards at the show, but everyone loves to see them!

You're right about that.... I too love looking at the vintage cards (graded or not), but looking and buying are two different things.

Looks like this guy is really making the rounds at the press corps. Here's another article covering him.
