There were no autograph signers, no AHs, no grading companies, etc,... - just dealer tables. I really miss that show.

I have lived in the DMV for decades and never heard of that show. Where was the show held?
The few times that I have attended the Philly Show (in years past aka as the mini national) there seemed to be more vintage and memorabilia on tables than newer issues. I would guess that quite a few collectors start ripping new wax and eventually move on to older material. I don't have a problem with an autograph guest or two. The Philly Show used to have one free autograph guest per day.
