As a preface, I mainly collect T206 and vintage Topps cards. There is plenty of pricing info available on these.

Having said this, here's my card show attendee (buyer) perspective:

I do my research before going to the show. For the most part, while I'm there, my phone stays in my pocket.

I have a want list with me. The prices I'm willing to pay are on that list. If I bring cards to sell or trade, they're already priced.

My recent (2020s) card show experience has been confined to the Philly Show. It's a large regional show with lots of dealer tables. I'd rather not waste time "looking up comps" during the show, especially since I can do that in advance. The show is too big to waste time doing something I could have done before I got there.

It's the buyer's analog to dealers who put price stickers on their cards. Quick and easy.,
