Even in its heyday at Ft. Washington, a new dealer with decent references could set up at Bob Scmierer's famous Philly Show with no problem. Until just several years ago under Hunt, that show at Valley Forge was bleeding dealers and collectors and seemed one or two shows away from going under. Other shows have always been just a matter of filling out the application and paying the table fee. This new situation is great for the hobby, and undoubtedly portends some good new shows opening up to take up the slack.
