I wish the West coast had shows like Strongsville.....I've talked to Rob from Burbank Sportscards and he said that many of the prewar vintage dealers live in the midwest and the east coast and don't really travel beyond a certain radius...generally travel only where they could get within a 3-5 hour car ride...so west coast is usually out.

I was amazed by the amount of Pokemon dealers there. Your 70% estimate may be low. There were only 4 or 5 dealers that I remember seeing that only had vintage (I think there was only one that had binders and boxes of ungraded commons and minor stars) along with others that had some vintage mixed in with newer stuff.
Your comment about where prewar vintage dealers live and travel seems to go along with The National not being held on the west coast, but there's any number of other threads talking about that so no real need to discuss it here.
