I was at Chantilly on Friday, and it appeared to me that the attendance was significantly greater for a Friday (the only day I go) than it has been for a long time, despite the crappy weather. In fact, when I arrived about 30 minutes after the show started, I noticed a line of 20 or more waiting to purchase tickets at the entrance - I don't recall the last time I witnessed anything like this! And, I noted several new dealers as well. Kudos to Joe D. for all that he has achieved thus far with this show.
And yes, there was great eye candy on display at the tables of the auction houses - REA, H&S, etc. Ditto for several of the vintage card dealers, especially Dan Mckee - Dan's showcases, as always, were chock full of rare and super scarce cards that rival those we drool over in the catalogs from the major auction houses.
