Description
We break down the viral Lake Worth Sports Cards & Collectibles Show post banning attendee‑to‑attendee deals (yes, even “bathroom deals”), and map the real economics: table fees, sit‑down tax, buyer flow, and better solutions that help collectors and dealers. Entertainment + education; not financial advice.
