I reviewed the recent listing of dealers attending and noted numerous that do not appear on the dealers attending listings for each of the past six Nationals. So I think the possibility of some fresh vintage material becoming available is better than average. And I do agree that the early bird gets the worm, even if it's an expensive worm. What I don't know is how much dealer-to-dealer shop & buy occurs before the Wednesday sneak peek. That might nix the early bird opportunities.

Going early definately increases your chances of finding that one of a kind unique piece and potential terrific deals, but there are not a ton of "bargains" period. I have made several purchases over a three day period at several Nationals, so don't feel like you can't find anything unless you go early. There is plenty of material, and many of the purchases on setup day reappear in other booths as the show moves on.

Go, enjoy yourself, and make a couple additions to your collection.
