Peter, from my limited experience, dealers are not discounting their items on Sunday. If that was the case, no one would buy anything at the National until Sunday when all of the deep discounts are available. If it has been a good show the dealers don't have any reason to discount their items because they have already covered their expenses and made a profit.

I have found it to be difficult to make a deal on Sunday afternoon. Many of the dealers are packing up, or they have already gone home 2-3-4 hours before the show officially ends.

As far as Barry Bonds items, I wouldn't invest anything in his cards or memorabilia. There is a general lack of confidence as to the long term viability of these items. His stuff is probably at its peak right now, and it looks like it only has one place to go, and that is down, and possibly down drastically if he is indicted or convicted.

Looking forward to next years National.
