A lot dealers do take checks or credit cards. That said, cash is king and you see some prodigious wads flashed around the room. It's often easier to get discounts if you look ready to peel off large bills.

I've been to the last 4 Nationals and the prices just get more inflated each year. Much higher generally than those you see on eBay and even from auction houses. You often have to hold your nose and pay up; no one wants to trek to Cleveland and come home empty-handed. The aisles are not crowded anymore. At Anaheim, they were spacious enough for tumbleweeds.
