Setting up at Chantilly this weekend?

In any case, packed is packed and that's great.

Hank, traffic in the aisles was heavy as was traffic at the tables of dealers with the "shiny stuff." The traffic at the tables of vintage dealers seemed good, and I hope these dealers did well.

Great to hear, Val, perhaps some dealers of both kinds of material will weigh in on what was moving and where the action was for this crowd.

Agree that Chantilly was pretty crowded. I got there an hour after the show opened on Friday and had to stand in line for almost 20 minutes. That's never happened before.

Picked up some great great items but all football related.
