I have not beed to that show since 2005; but I suspect there are many problems beyond our control

1) Shows are just not the same -- other than the National -- we don't see as many dealers, customers, etc

2) Bob S sold the show a few years ago to Hunt Auctions. Hunt is a part of Upper Deck, and they by their nature are more attuned to new cards then new cards. And they do not run the show (I would wager) with the same passion that Bob did

3) No next generation of dealers who really want to set up at shows. They would all rather be at their keyboards rather than meeting and greeting. And when you deal with public, you can be put off by that 5 percent

Regards
Rich
