My thoughts for the National

[glchen]

Perhaps a less time consuming way for dealers to do this would be to just take a few pictures of their cases (with the cards inside) and just upload those pictures to a common site (such as a thread here) along with the table number, and that would be good enough to get a general idea of what that dealer has. The dealer could do this before they leave for National or immediately after they setup, and hopefully be able to use just their phone to upload the pictures.

I think if there were a way to get the contact info for all vendors planning to attend the nat'l well in advance of it...and they were made aware that there were a "site" where they could place such info...this could work.

In the meantime...threads discussing want lists and comeraderie will have to do.

Do away with the convention altogether, create a virtual website simulating a convention where every "table" can be viewed without having to walk or talk or ask questions or better yet every card is in a searchable database by 14 fields and you can do it all from home with a smartphone or the new Apple watch.

As Don (hi don). Already said, he does a great job of informing the group of his major show content. A simple dealer thread would work for those who want to participate. If I was a dealer I would certainly want a place to preview and reach out to clients.

Agreed. Don is great at this. Think this will be fun when convention time rolls around.

Eric and Dennis---thanks for the comments---I always list my highlights for a show on net 54---Why not!! I feel this helps me for potential sales at a show and I enjoy doing it. I think the Net 54 dealers on this site should do it too--It will only help you if a collector is looking for something you have in your inventory---Looking forward to the National in Chicago again this year. thanks, Don

That's the reality when the nat'l is not going on!
