Spending at the 2022 National

[Snapolit1]

Probably a little less inclined to spend big, or close to big.

Can't wait, but my experience with the National generally is that it's hard to find anything approaching a decent buy. Prices are really inflated. Looking forward to walking the aisles but not expecting to buy a lot.

If you see your white whale or unicorn or whatever, grab it. But for run of the mill stuff, even nice run of the mill stuff, I tend to hold off.

Sure some odd ball something or other will jump out and grab me.

The middle class is watching their money like a hawk!

The wealthy won't care they will spend as much as they want, usually they spend the most in auctions, it's easier for them.

Dollar boxes (or cheaper) are the most fun of the show for me. You never know what you're gonna find. I was going through a vein of 1970s cards in a ten-cent box at the 2019 show and pulled a $50 card out of there. Small $$ but big fun regardless.
