<p>[QUOTE="dmott88, post: 1321950, member: 33129"]I've worked shows for 5 years now. I can't tell you how many people carry greysheets and redbooks with them. Although, you have to remember graysheets are mainly for dealers and you are at a place full of dealers. So don't expect to get exactly what they're priced at in the sheets. Also, just lists of what you want never seems to a problem. I have countless guys arrive and request only what is on their list and if you don't have 3 or more they just move on to the next table. It annoys some dealers but never bothers me. </p><p>I think you're idea of a list and what you're willing to pay for each item would work best. That is what I use to do. I actually just put them all in my cell phone so the dealer never really knew what I was doing. Maybe just texting a friend or what have you. I also created a small spreadsheet of the greysheet with stars next to what I needed for my sets and uploaded right into my phone. It came in handy and I still use it today. That and the online photograde by PCGS. I am not sure if there is a precise "etiquette" but this never seems to be an issue with me or other dealers at the show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
