Joe PelaezMark nailed every point.
It was where the Elite Meet to Eat, 
and seek out whatever you were looking for. ... it was usually there.
All the major names in Card World were there to deal out the cards.
It was at one of the shows that I picked up my O'Hara & Demmitt from Lew's table.
He had three sets of them.
Like Mark said, an invitation to the private room was an event in itself.
This was like going to an after hour club, only it was usually done right after the show.
Somebody would open up a suit case, and in it would be whatever you needed for your collection.
What a country!
What a show.
