I live in Brooklyn and went to the east coast national on friday, I won't be attending fanatics fest. ECN was not crowded at all, especially before doors officially opened at 3. Maybe saturday/sunday were busier.
There were lots of familiar dealers on the main floor, the basement is around 80% modern but Alex Tymchuks booth makes going there worthwhile. I picked up a PSA 9 Fan Craze Mordecai Brown from him along with a red hindu Hummel from Ashish. He seemed in good spirits and still had some of the nicest stuff in the room.
If you want a card show the ECN is a no brainer, it did feel like there was a touch less prewar material than last year.
