I will be there Friday. I live less than 10 minutes away.
The October show last year was better than the June show with a few more vintage dealers showing up, including JD Heckathorn. There were some dealers at both shows who were primarily modern but had a handful of slabbed vintage stars. Indy Card Exchange brings along some vintage - but again slabbed stars - the vintage commons stay back at the shop (which is only a few miles away)
I found some things I needed each of the two shows, including B-18 blankets from the same dealer at each show. I can't say I remembered seeing a lot of pre-war stuff, but that isn't my primary focus (though I am working through an attempt at a low grade Diamond Stars set).
Its definitely not a Strongsville / Moeller show as far as the amount of vintage. I'm not sure I would go to this show if it was more than 60 - 90 minutes away. Hopefully a few more vintage and pre-war dealers show up this year.
The guys running the show are good guys - the shuttle from the parking lot is fine - looks like we should have good weather. I will be the guy walking around in a Guardians polo hanging out at the vintage tables.
As noted plenty of places to eat nearby along 116th Street - including Shake Shack and Portillo's east of 69. The O'Charley's by Target closed a few months ago.
