Default Looking for Sports Card Show Guidance

I will be going to my first Sports Card Show in more than 20 years; this month in Virginia Beach, VA.

Back in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's, I knew all of the local card shop owners and most of the card show dealers, so it was easy to bargain on prices and get some really good deals. Also, cards back then weren't as expensive as they are today, so it was easy to bargain on price. Back then, it was about collecting. Today, it's about the all-mighty dollar; which makes me clueless how things work at card shows these days.

I've seen a lot of post on multiple sites stating what jerks many of the card show dealers are; overpriced and won't budge on prices.

What is realistic and what should I expect when trying to bargain on price?

I'm sure if it's a popular and a highly in-demand card, not much room to bargain, if at all.

Thanks,

Tony "A Fish Out of Water"
