Re: Thoughts, observations and opinions on the National
Rob,
I missed you in Baltimore. We were set up at booth 1005. Completely agree on most of what you said about Baltimore. Great city, beautiful convention center and ball park, manageable traffic and a wide variety of restaurants and hotels. A far better venue than Cleveland (sorry) and even Chicago. I thought the crowds were pretty good, though the economy seemed to dampen enthusiasm for higher valued cards. We had a pretty good show (including Sunday) both buying and selling. And, as always, it was great to see folks I only get to see once a year.
There will always be dealers who lay the blame for their poor results at the feet of the promoter/venue/economy or anything other than their own laziness or incompetence. And yes, some of them could use a Vic Tanney's job as well. I think I'll run an extra mile tomorrow to keep myself off that list.
