At any show you have two types of dealers...there are guys like Wiliam Chappel and Dick Decoursey that actually are active dealers. They focus on profit but are nice and professional to deal with. There are also retired school teachers and postal workers who hold court over museums of their cardboard conquests without any particular need or ambition to sell.

+1. A big part of going to shows for me is meeting people and making contacts. I was talking to William Chappell at a show last year (Strongsville, OH I think) and showed him my wantlist. He happened to have the Rogers Peet Dazzy Vance at home. We made a deal and he mailed it to me. Couldn't be happier.
