I went today (and got in for free as offered above for N54 members). Will be going back tomorrow with my son. Very good show.

I was there Friday too. I noticed there seems like there were significant more people walking the show floor than in previous Fridays of this show. I don't know if it's because the weather was lousy or what, but there were a lot more. It seems like there were less dealers too, so maybe it was the same number of customers as always, but they were walking a smaller physical space. I don't know.

There was a mix of vintage cards, the shiny stuff, and a little memorabilia too, so there was something for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised to see some sellers that do not usually do this show (such as Rich Altman of Hollywood Collectibles, OldFootball.com, etc,...). As mentioned, REA, Memory Lane, and Huggins & Scott had tables. I did not see Heritage, Goodwin, Love of the Game, or any other auction house.

All in all, a great time as always !!!

I went Friday with my wife and son. Seemed to be more vintage than normal.

Was at Chantilly yesterday. I thought it was really good. One of the best I've been to in quite a while. Lots more vintage than has been there during the past several years and also more collectors walking around.

Joe is doing a great job!

I was at Chantilly on Friday, and it appeared to me that the attendance was significantly greater for a Friday (the only day I go) than it has been for a long time, despite the crappy weather. In fact, when I arrived about 30 minutes after the show started, I noticed a line of 20 or more waiting to purchase tickets at the entrance - I don't recall the last time I witnessed anything like this! And, I noted several new dealers as well. Kudos to Joe D. for all that he has achieved thus far with this show.

And yes, there was great eye candy on display at the tables of the auction houses - REA, H&S, etc. Ditto for several of the vintage card dealers, especially Dan Mckee - Dan's showcases, as always, were chock full of rare and super scarce cards that rival those we drool over in the catalogs from the major auction houses.

Busiest CSA show I can recall. Great autograph guests which I normally don't go for, but some photo opportunities were too good for me to pass up. Great cards as well, vintage for me and newer items for my sons. Looking forward to the next one.
