Dealers at the national
If a bank were robbed of $100,000+ in cash, it would be the lead on the news. Between the two mantles and the Ott bat that have been mentioned here, the take at the national was much more than that. Worst of all, many of the items will never see the light of day.
Why haven't the dealers simply insisted on the National providing video security and additional manpower? Were I a dealer at the national, I would make my voice heard pretty loudly on that...because sooner or later, the theft is going to kill the show.
The promoters make a pretty nice payday out of the national. I would think they would have a responsibility to take care of you dealers...while it's nice to see the Topps display and such, the real draw is the cards.
