Unfortunately this show was a disappointment overall, due to very light foot-traffic all 3 days. At times it felt as if there were more dealers there than collectors in the cavernous convention space. There were still deals to be made, but the volume just wasn't there. Many of those who were buying appeared to be cherry-picking for grading/flipping purposes.
My general thought is much more will have to be done in the way of promotion in the future to bring in the crowds and for dealers to justify setting up. Just my two cents...
