Thanks guys. I tried to find someone to share table costs with me where I would only set up on Friday, but was unsuccessful. My setting up at show days may be over. It's seems to be getting too much like work as there seems to be less and less action and I have concluded that our participation in Net54 gives us the impression that the pre-war card collector universe is actually much smaller than it seems. At Chantilly in particular, which is mostly an autograph show skewed toward football, I can't stop thinking about the infinitesimal odds of someone coming in wearing a Troy Polamalu jersey buying a T206 or E93.
Rather than kvetching (that's for you, Alan) about it, as I have just spent the last few lines doing, it's probably better to stop, at least for now, and figure out if I want to liquidate my stuff. I hear dealers complain at shows all the time and I had become one of them.
