Dave,
I was wondering the same thing the other day when I heard about this, in particular Levi Bleam @ 707 sportscards. He is the "host dealer" for CSA at the Oaks show and has been doing the Philly show for years.I did notice that at the last couple Phiily shows his setup was quite smaller then it used to be. I also see that the Philly show has gotten smaller since Hunt took over. While on the other hand most dealers I have talked to who did the Oaks show were very pleased. I cannot see anything good coming out of trying to force dealers into an exclusive contract, I know I would not react positively to this demand. Maybe this is the writing on the wall for the Philly show. I would be curious how some of the dealers on this board who did both shows feel?
