To elaborate, I went to David L. Lawrence Convention Center today hoping that the show would be like last year's show where there were a couple aisles of dealers.

Nope.

I arrived and outside of Hunt Auctions and Spence there were three dealers. Two years ago when Hunt had the show they advertised the show would have "the leading dealers in the area" and when I arrived there were two dealers. Both then as in now absolutely no pre-War and this year barely anything vintage. I know the idea is to sell the autographs, but having more dealers with more variety would not have hurt. Last year I purchased an autographed 1941 Play Ball of Bill Dickey, a SGC 55 VG-EX+ 4.5 1933 George C. Miller of Gehringer and a 1909 Tri fold postcard of the Pirates. That was a good show.
