I don't know if I went in for the kill or if I "got killed". That fellow really put my negotiating skills to the test, and I walked away knowing I couldn't get him down another penny. Still pretty sure I overpaid, but guess that's to be expected at the National. There is a big benefit to seeing and inspecting this stuff in person (as opposed to just viewing an internet photo).
And even if the dealer prices are high, the face to face interaction and time spent with collector friends more than makes up for it. Carlton did his usual great job documenting everything, and even provided a terrific Chicago-style Deep Dish Pizza Feast at Herb and Matt's Booth. "Hats off" to Carlton
