You are the most organized and professional vendor to deal with you gave me a great deal Saturday. As you always do. See u next week at the Babylon show. Thanks again learning a lot from you!

[@behindthediamondcards]

thanks see you Sunday!

[@fahobbyguy2]

wow you were moving fast and busy that’s good the lady was helping you, can’t wait for part 2.

[@behindthediamondcards]

that's my girl can't do it without her!

[@mookiechillson]

It’s incredible to see you in action, John. Smart strategy, great deals, generous to other dealers making referrals. You do it right! Was great to see you yesterday - good luck today!

[@behindthediamondcards]

appreciate that, thanks!

[@Globalcabletech]

I was there Friday - bought a couple cards from ya - I was there when the 2 kids were star struck and asked if you were him 🤣🤣🤣

[@behindthediamondcards]

crazy right lol

[@MrChooocooolate]

This is beautiful. I LOVE your close ups of your display. You're the only one on TH-cam that is consistently doing this. Your displays are amazing, especially baseball. Over here in the Bay Area, California, we don't have displays like this (baseball). I'd die if I came across your table. Thank you for posting. If you've read this far - you actually inspired me to set up as a table for the first time, this Sunday!

[@shakascloset1700]

I could watch for hours. You are an awesome vendor. Always making moves. Idk how you can keep up with the non stop customers. Thanks again for another awesome video John. 👍

[@behindthediamondcards]

thanks for watching!

[@victornegroncards]

That place is looking better than ever. Haven't been there in a few years. Wish I could've made it to this one.

[@behindthediamondcards]

yes they renovated since the last time we were there.

[@hm_09865]

Admiring your negotiating style.

[@behindthediamondcards]

thanks a lot I try to be fair!

[@SwapMeet_SportsCards]

Nice I love card shows but what I wonder is why don’t people set up at local flee markets/swap meets and do the same thing as the national would be if more cars collectors set up shop we could have a card show every weekend technically as long as those flee market/swap meets r open

[@behindthediamondcards]

good question, some people do! I have made plenty of deals at flea markets too. Not many around here though, also the traffic at a flea market is hit or miss at a card show you know you are getting the clientele.

[@SwapMeet_SportsCards]

@@behindthediamondcards true I think more people need to set up I’m going to two different flee markets/swapmeet in my San Diego area Friday,sat, and Sunday bc I’ve also made great sales but 1$-5$ are key don’t get taxed or have to pay for shipping

[@DrewTangNYC]

great to see you with some rare, case-hit range 90s inserts. Star Power Supreme and A Cut Above are a couple of my all-time favorite basketball set designs.

[@behindthediamondcards]

love those

[@billyv604]

Holy Smokes!! You’re doing things right! Awesome cards and set up man!! ❤️

[@behindthediamondcards]

thanks!

[@Troutani]

How much do dealers have to pay for a table?

[@jasonrak]

Never understood why you're/they're calling it the "East Coast National". National signifies nationwide, no? How can something be East coast, yet National, at the same time? Guess I'm being too caught up in semantics! LOL

[@prospectsrus282]

what grade would you give the show? and was it better or worse than the east coast national at rockland last summer

[@behindthediamondcards]

oh better, by far. I have always loved the county center. that is our original spot but due to covid we couldn't get In there. rockland for me was great though!

[@prospectsrus282]

nice work! excited for more of the ECN vlogs@@behindthediamondcards

[@whatsticking6763]

Man you have to learn to speak to kids better… they aren’t as robust to tonality as adults show them passion business or not

[@kimtieka5645]

WHATSTICKING6763 What happened didn't see anything alarming from the video? You making it up?

[@behindthediamondcards]

you must not really watch my videos. I am actually the nicest to kids, I have kids so I respect them. might of been an off edit, but kids are the best!

[@kimtieka5645]

​@@behindthediamondcardsYeah John I'm with you, I didn't see anything of you speaking bad to kids. I re-watched it to make sure, I think whatsticking6763 is some type of troll.

[@behindthediamondcards]

@@kimtieka5645 Thanks for the support!
