How is the Chicago Sun Times (Fanatics) Show?

[darkhorse9]

I go to these shows several times a year. It's usually the same group of dealers when it comes to vintage. There's more and more "shiny stuff" showing up lately.
What I'm really starting to see is the bigger dealers are bringing less and less product with them. Battersbox used to always be at the show with a huge selection of well-priced vintage and a great discount box. The last show they were at all I saw was one guy from Battersbox sitting at a table with a couple of complete sets on the table. I had trouble even finding their table because of that.

There seems to be more and more "created collectibles" like art prints framed pictures and things like that and a lot more supplies and such.

Prices are pretty good with most dealers willing to work out deals, particularly if your buying any kind of volume.
