Why do you feel that to be the case? I would venture that such an idea would appeal to people who may not be regular, full-time dealers but have a lot of vintage stockpiled and would jump at the chance to set up. Am I wrong?
There have been past instances of guys who were primarily collectors looking to divest who somehow wrangled a spot at the show. They had endless amounts of traffic and made bank with the stuff they had been hoarding for years! A lot of unique memorabilia that hadn't seen the light of day in ages. How absolutely refreshing it was, and dealing with them was very, very pleasant, as they were coming to the situation from the perspective of being knowledgeable collectors, not dealers. While this wouldn't constitute the majority of "lottery" spaces, to be certain, just imagine if each National ended up with even a couple such guys. We'd be in heaven.
