A National question already.

I like being there on Wednesday, despite it being only a "half day." I think it's fun being part of the excitement of the show opening. Plus, I've found I don't really need two full days to cover the National, so the Wednesday-Thursday scenario works well for me. My best National purchases (not in terms of "deals" but rather in quality) have come on Wednesdays.

Regardless of which two days you pick, I'd say Thursday definitely should be one of them.

Agreed that Thursday is highly recommended. Depending on what you collect, will help to determine whether Wednesday or Friday is more apropos. If you are into really rare, impossible to find stuff, then Wednesday. If T206s are more your thing, then Friday is fine.

What Scott said about not passing up on an opportunity is dead on target. If it is an impulse buy, you can probably think about it (and may be better off doing so), but if it is something you have been looking for, jump on it when you have the chance.

Weds to Friday late morning is more than enough time. By Friday morning the dealers have largely given up their dream of fleecing collectors and will grudgingly accept fair market value.
