So exactly what do you want from a show?

Also can we minimize the amount of dealers that use “book price” for everything?

Or even worse, have nothing priced, and have to look each and every card up to tell you what they want for it.

'Round here they're known as a** antlers.

I think grouping dealers makes a great deal of sense - antique and paper shows do that and it makes the show much more manageable.

While I would like to see show promoters make some effort to monitor dealer conduct (rudeness being #1), I'm not sure that such a proposal is reasonable.

The best thing Marco could do to make the Chantilly Show more appealing to Net54ers is to get more more dealers of vintage cards and memorabilia to attend.

Alan, if I remember correctly, Marco had a retail store in Charlottesville maybe 20 years or so ago, before he began concentrating on doing shows.
