How was Chantilly cardshow?

As mentioned - great care and focus on distancing and PPE. Dealers and staff had temperature checks coming in each morning (not sure about attendees). Masks required and checked for everyone. Very well run from a safety perspective. Friday was the "busy" day. Saturday was much quieter and Sunday quieter still. Someone made mention that there was some local news reporting questioning the safety of the show. As mentioned by others - it was great to see old friends, make some new ones and place names with faces of some net 54 members.

Dealers reports were mixed - a number said it was a great show for them business-wise. A few less so. While I agree that the room was weighted to the "new shiny stuff", there was quite a bit of nice vintage in the room - Way more post war than pre war and while I agree some of it trying to set new pricing records, there were some deals to be had as well.

Well back here in Portland Maine after doing the Chantilly show---the Promoters did a wonderful job of setting up the show--Well Spread out and many safety precautions.--First show I did in 10 months and it was Outstanding---The serious buyers came from all over the country and they were there to spend money. The high demand cards did sell. The crowd was ok Friday and Saturday---Sunday was weak as most 3 days shows are. From what I heard, some dealers did great, and some so-so, but just nice to do a show again and catch up with old friends and meeting new Net54 members---Had great chats with Ryan, Scott, Andrew, Matt, Joe, Toby, Michael and many others. I now have to try to restock my inventory, so Net 54 Members, I am buying if you have some vintage and high demand cards to sell. Great show and nice to be back in Maine. Don

I thought it was REALLY well done. I totally forgot to ask if folks were on the boards or not, my bad, I was just giddy to have a show to go to. Dealers were great, I forgot to grab business cards, so I FAILED at every aspect of networking. That said, the Mrs even got into the action trying to help me finish up the Diamond Stars, T201 and 1959 sets. Got a stack of cards, burned through the war chest, and left happy. Thank you CSA!
