I went to the Chicago show over the weekend. Every time I go the show gets smaller and smaller, despite the fact that they do a real good job of getting high quality autograph guests in.
Most of the vintage stuff is really dwindling. The pre-war stuff is becoming limited to the major dealers (i.e. 707 and the likes) and is almost always high graded stuff with equally high price tags. Finding any good buys on raw pre-war stuff is impossible.
The only reason I go to shows any more is when I plan on buying a large amount of commons (my goal this weekend was 1949 Bowman). I save the stars and higher priced cards for buying on ebay.
