Leon is absolutely correct

It is remarkable how out of touch most the card show dealers are.

Except for the National and one or two other shows, we rarely find a high quality card worth purchasing.

Even in sets like Delongs, 34 Goudeys or 41 Playballs the dealers tend to be at least 2x the SMR.

What amazes us is that we have seen some cards at the same dealer's table
or the same E Bay BIN listing for over two years.

Leon is right- it seems that only private treaty with other collectors or auctionsare the only way to obtain rare cards at market prices
