Guys, I live just outside Chicago and will tell you from my experience it is a card shop wasteland out here. I haven't been in a decent shop in years. Unless you want new cards (mid '90's and up) forget it. I will stand corrected if anyone can come up with a shop with a decent selection of vintage cards. You can barely find a show with more than 30 tables besides the 2 Sun Times shows and the Fans Edge show in the summer (lame!) Sorry 'bout that, pretty pathetic for the 3rd largest city in the US. About the show itself, pretty good size and pretty good selection but as I stated earlier, I was VERY surprised at the high prices at the fall show despite the economy. I personally did not see alot of purchases being made, just alot of looking.
