How does a new seller get into ANY major card show these days?

Finances are tighter for me than probably just about anyone else out there looking to set up at a major show.

It is in the contracts that subletting tables is not allowed, but it happens all the time. As previously mentioned, that is your quickest way to getting a decent table at the big shows.
