It's funny I sent up at that show for about 10 years from the 90's on. They slowly started to lose dealers and once that happened I knew the show was dead. Last time I went I talked to a dealer that had never missed a show since 1986 and he said he was done, when that happened I knew the show was also done.
I am not sure anyone could have kept that show going, they did try several things over the last years but it was so big and so expensive that I just think it was too much.
Anyway I loved the show back when and it was great for buying and selling. I have a lot of memories with friends at that show.
Times change I guess but there certainly aren't many shows around and I don't know of any show that had the wide range of quality stuff that AC did.
