I would agree that the quality of the material from National to National is in pretty steep decline -- but isn't that the dealers' faults as well? As for walking a lot, well, a) this is the nature of the beast considering the size of the floor and the number of booths in existence; and b) having taken a look at the size of most of the hobbyists it might not be the worst thing in the world to get these people moving to some place other than a feed bag.
