I have been to Nationals in Chicago and Cleveland but I assume AC will be similar. The size and scope of the room will be overwhelming and takes two full days to fully appreciate. Your mind will be scrambled by mid afternoon day one so day two is the day I tend by spend my money. One end of the room will be dominated by modern and the other end of the room will be vintage (Tobacco Row) although I found some interesting vintage stuff in some odd places. I find it helpful to have a couple specific things to look for… for me it is usually PSA graded T206 and mid 50s HOFers….and then expand on my second or third trip around the room. If a dealer is a jerk or dismissive simply move on as there are plenty of good guys to work with. And take lots of cash
