Few things
1) If you can afford to go; then by all means go to the National or if another larger show in your area.
2) When it comes to vintage; once you pass the tables with nothing but museum quality material; there are many places where reasonably priced vintage can be found. Usually they will be in boxes slightly to the side and say discount box, etc. Some dealers with better material also have those discount boxes
3) Because vintage is more expensive;; there is a greater likelihood that dealers will bring their lower quality material in that.
4) I like the idea of pricing cards on the FRONT. The reason is fairness to your buyer. Everyone knows the starting point. I know that I have heard from some dealers over the years that the reason they don't price their cards is so if they buy something the collector does not say (I see you have that for "x") Well at a National; the idea of getting the ultimate steal is probably not going to work.
