I wouldn't trust opinions of those that didn't attend. And for those that have never been, I highly recommend you do. It's a sportscard nerd's Disneyland. You can literally look at every booth and see something new each day. Four football fields filled with eye candy. You're among "your people" too. So many chances to exchange hobby knowledge with card buddies around the globe. Sure there's some high priced stuff compared to vcp avg (especially at booths run by collectors). But plenty of deals to be had as well depending on what you're looking for. Most dealers I talked to thought it was the best show in many years, so I'm guessing most buyers found what they were looking for at agreeable prices. I went with a one card mission. To buy a 51 Bowman Mantle in a 4 grade. I saw some on the low end at $5200 and even one at $15k with a bunch in between.
