Jeff,

The White Plains show is just not good for vintage.

The Philly Show was much better - but has been slipping lately (although it is still better than White Plains).
I wish you had gone to the Philly Show a few years ago - you would have a better feeling about shows in general.
I am hopeful the Philly Show will get back to where it was. I think it can.

The National is better than them all. Much better. A different league.
Don't let the White Plains show influence your decision to go to the National.

Although.... if you don't go to the National - I will enjoy picking up a Cobb card you don't have, or better yet - a Chase card you don't have - and then spend the next year or two showing it to you before each NYC dinner (right before we begin eating).

The National is within driving distance for us... if you can manage it work-wise / you would be crazy to miss it.
