I was just chatting about the Strongsville and Philly show with a fellow collector. For me Strongsville is a 6+ hour drive just for cards. Is the Philly show being taken over by Pokemon?

While Pokemon obviously has a presence in Philly, for my money Philly has surpassed Chantilly for vintage. They have basically flip-flopped in their respective vintage positions in terms of quality.
