I always do well at the National because it usually draws a huge crowd and everyone is there to spend money which is unlike any other show. While there may be a dozen tables with the same cards at the National, these cards often vary in condition and price, giving collectors many more options. Also, each dealer has his own unique selling style so customers aren't just choosing a card, they're also choosing the right dealer that fits their buying style. As far as buying goes, I actually find buying easier and cheaper at shows than online. Along those same lines, I have a buying problem and have a constant influx of inventory so I never need to save anything just for National.
