The National - Dealer Wives

[Neal]

I prefer buying cards in person, at a show, and have zero problem paying more than I could get it elsewhere - Buying is pretty much the main reason we have National, regional, and local card shows.

At times, card dealers have an undeserved bad rep .... sometimes it is the buyer that is to blame.

The National should sponsor a Calendar featuring dealer Wives. There could be try outs. Or one for Dealers. Or even random people off the floor

Would it be like the People of Walmart site?

The frustration I have is with any dealer who leaves an assistant (wife, kid, whatever) at a table with no prices, no discretion and no way to contact the great and all-knowing Oz while he is away from the booth. Might as well just close up:

Many dealers are pretty rich so i imagine their wives were at least hot at one time

The last National I attended 5 years ago, it seemed like every table I stopped at (looking for 50-60s baseball/fb commons), one of the first thing out of the mouth of whoever was manning the table was to describe their discount "policy" if it was not already posted... IE the more I were to spend, the more of a discount I would receive. My recollection is that if I were to spend several $100 dollars on 50-60s commons, a 20% discount was not out of line. Maybe my experiences from five years ago are all old news.
