great advice. Yes one should walk around BUT if you see your "white whale" and it's priced/condition you want then buy it when you see said item. I can't tell you how often I heard well I'll come back for my priority item and it's gone.

Now an item like a Seaver RC, you can wander around. An item like a 1920's William Patterson whomever are so tough that you might not see another one at the show
