I've never been to the National either but might try to go this year if my health is good at the time. I would agree that Wednesday would be good to learn the layout of the show but I always wonder about buying on the early previews of any show. Maybe if it was an ultra rare card that can't be bought without years of searching but I feel that most dealers would hold off on giving price breaks since they have the whole show to try to sell their cards at their asking price. When I was into coin shows at the age of 9, I would go to each table many times and make notes of who had what and continue to just look around until I started seeing dealers pack up. Then I would go make my purchases and make deals on lower prices.
