The first National I attended was in AC maybe 4 years ago. It was totally worth the effort to get there. There is so much vintage at the National your head might explode. I remember being simply overwhelmed at all the cases to look through. If you've never been to one I would strongly recommend it. The venue is sort of in the middle of nowhere, but a bar is right across the street which is a great place to rest for a few hours. Best advice I got was wear comfortable shoes and bring a little pad to write notes, because at some point you are going to want to double back and see something again and with the sheer of stuff it's easy to get overwhelmed.

I'd say highly desirable stuff will be grossly marked up. But always interesting things to see and buy. Also nice to see people face to face you've done business with or heard about.
