Many collectors that I know would rather put their investments in cards than in the bank or in stocks. The events happening now won't change too much, except for transportation. Doing pre war cards for many years, I have seen these cards level off, but not taking a dive and that's since the 80'S. As a dealer, I carry a large amount of t206 cards mostly in PSA 6's. I have set up at the last 5 Nationals. I do not send cards to auction houses, so they are available privately or at a few card shows that I do. With the National 5 weeks away, it is not a good idea to throw the National under the bus because of a bad experience or two. In that big room, there are some great cards available and there are some dealers out there that will work with customers so you can get a fair sale. Some dealers will raise their cost a little bit to cover their tables and hotel. Even if you don't buy anything, the National runs drawings and games for the kids. As a collector, you can pick up some advice from a dealer or even a business card. It's a fun 5 days for all.

Well said Bill. I know I am excited for the National. I know the economy is rough right now. I expect to have plenty of sales and also bringing plenty of cash to buy. And who knows,maybe Bill will sell me his psa 6 Ty Cobb!!
