I went Friday. It was fun and there was a good selection, but I am struggling to get my head around the new pricing. Everything seemed insanely priced...but it could be me. I think I spent about $50.

I’m right there with you, Todd. You spent $50 more than I did. I might need to win Powerball before handling recent pricing.

Met my son (he lives in Bethesda) there on Saturday around 11:00 and we stayed until closing. The crowd on Saturday was bigger than any I'd seen before as we had to park at the Walmart. Didn't make any big purchases, but did add quite a few 196Xs Reds for my team collection and made progress on the 53T set I'm working. Lots and lots of new, shiny cards in flips and guys walking around with metal cases. But still enough pre and post war vintage to make it a good show.
I did drop off 17 cards at the SGC booth including a Koufax RC and a Nolan RC - fingers crossed on the return. Lots of folks there just for autos as they had quite the football lineup present.

I spoke to a few dealers about it and it seemed like it llthe near constant PA announcements were universally hated but they were resigned to it as a part of life. Does that happen at all large shows? It would be good for promoters to find a better way.

Yes every major show is like for the most part. Dealer's would love a solution but I can't come up with one.

I have heard this more than once - "Chantilly is an autograph show with the added bonus of dealers selling cards". Thoughts?
