The question on the dealers. One dealer had 2 small showcases of prewar cards and the other had a half of a showcase of prewar. There was major construction on the campus all day on sunday making the entire area around the show a disaster. There were only two signs for the show 1 about 6 blocks away and the other at the entrance, they both look like my 4 year made them. If you were not familar with where the gym was you would not find it. They didn't even have a sign on the door of the gym. I felt the show was put on by a 1st time show promoter. There was 1 ad in the newsday about three weeks ago, and they had there flyer's at the Long Island National a few
week ago. When I heard the New York State National with 500 table, I expected many quality dealers. I counted
about 50 dealers with the average of 5+ tables each, One guy in the front have 10 tables of wax packs boxes. I think the dealer's expected alot more then they got.
My final opinion is you had a new promoter that myself and very few dealer at the show even knew trying to put on a show that in name only sounded like a hofstra or east coast national in white palins. But to the disapointment of many mostly the dealers. Good Try guys
