I missed Friday, but was there for much of Saturday and Sunday. That front area of the show is absolutely dead. The rest of the show wasn't much busier. I was there in Dec. though and this show was phenomenal compared to the 10 people who attended in Dec. 2009 (mild exaggeration). Some dealers did horrible, but some were very happy with the show. I ran around the area to get consignments, including a Saturday trip to Baltimore and a Sunday trip to Staten Island, and talked with a lot of my dealer friends, like Phil Marks, Kevin Keating, Kip Ingle, Dick Gordon, etc. so it was worth the trip for me, but not because of the show. McAvoy and Henderson have now dropped this event too and I noticed others scaling back. You really gotta wonder what the future of this one holds.
