Default The National: Is 4 hrs. enough on Wednesday?

First-time attendee question: The non-VIP hours for the Wednesday sneak peak are 4-8 p.m. Is this enough time to see all the vintage tables, or am I better off going on Thursday? Is everyone already set up by this time, or are some still rolling in?

I'm going again on Saturday (mostly for one autograph signing), but want to catch an early day as well since it seems that day is a mad house.

Default Wednesday

If you have a set agenda of what you are looking for then Wednesday is not bad. Most of the bigger dealers are headed in earlier in the week and set up on Tuesday. The smaller dealers will be getting ready and maybe not as "welcome" to negotiating as they need to get set up.

I think you'll find 4 hours woefully inadequate.

I walked the whole 2022 national in about 3 hours pretty easily. I glance at tables and instantly know if I want to stop or not. I only went to find cool rare stuff and 90% of tables were glance, and skip. So that definitely helped.

It really depends what you're going for.. If it's for one of the same 40 cards every vintage dealer has 10 of it might take a full day. Eg koufax rookie, mantles Aarons etc.

Thanks for the assessment -- I'm primarily looking for Jim Thorpe, so that's pretty narrow.
