1. Don't build up your hopes if you are looking for scarce cards. There are 1000+ dealer tables but very few with great vintage stuff.

2. Unless you find something that you can't live without and are afraid that it will scooped up by someone else if you leave the table, make note of cards you like, walk the full show, and then decide what you will seriously pursue. The worst thing would be to use up your money early and then find a great card.

3. Negotiate, negotiate------------NEVER PAY WHAT THE DEALER IS ASKING

4. Consider the National as a social event where you may find some cards you need. If you go in with that attitude you will never be disappointed
