What you find at the National or any other show of interest and whether deals can be made is affected a great deal by the breath of your collection. Some people collect a lot of everything. In that case the National is great. If you are looking for commons of 48 Leafs and 52 Topps, probably will have a blast. If you are looking for a deal on higher end stuff that is more specific, let's say for example a signed Babe Ruth Type 1 photo of a Cobb postcard, you are likely not going to come home with something.

I'm still convinced that many of the posters who apparently think the National is a waste of time are from NJ and aren't happy unless they're complaining about something, yet they'd never not go and deprive themselves of the chance to complain.

EDIT: I'm from NJ.
