petecldI was there today and it was for the most part a bust. At least they put the vintage tables at the far end of the room away from the autograph seekers.
• Selection: Not much different from a Sun-Times show.
• Crowd: Ha! Lots of elbow room, if you know what I mean. Pretty sad crowd actually.
It's bad enough they had this show in the same year, in the same town, 8 weeks before the National but who was the mental giant who decided to have a collector show in CHICAGO, on a sunny Saturday, when the Cubs were playing the White Sox!!!!! C'mon, think a little people. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I hope SCD is happy with the PR they got from having Alan Rosen hype the T206 "find". I can't imagine too many dealers were happy. The show was suppose to be open until 8pm. Some dealers had already packed up their tables at 5pm when I left.
