I have given up on shows
I buy a few high cost vintage cards a year. I find the auctions in April and May provide all I need to pick what I want to buy at market prices. I at least know what a fair price is and do not need to see the same cards at booths at higher prices. So give me a good web site or catalog and I'll save time and travel money. I did go to the national in Baltimore but was dissapointed with the prices. I got a few expensive cards crossed over but that was all. I am seeing that the vast information available on the web makes these dealers who over price real dinosaurs. Like it or not the Internet age makes market pricing easy to find and you cannot hope for some fool to pay twice as much anymore because they see it at a show.
