More items for sale after the national?

When I was into card collecting years ago, I wasn't in tune enough to know about such things, but now that I'm back into it, I was curious. Do people usually come back from the national convention with things to sell that they've picked up? I was just curious what the general flow is around this time. I'm sure there's some kind of pattern before/during/after the show, but I know nothing about it. Can anyone give any insight there?

I'm sure that there are dealers going to the convention looking for things that they will be able to resell, so yes, I am imagining that inventories of some dealers will be changing in the next couple of weeks. In addition, with regards to Ebay in particular, some sellers are holding off selling things for a couple of weeks because they know a good deal of BUYERS are saving funds right now for the event. I myself have noticed a dropoff in the cards I would normally consider buying being placed on Ebay the past couple weeks. Hopefully this should return to normal after the Nationals. Hope that helps answer your question....
