I was looking at the list of dealers attending the upcoming show in Chicago, and I see very few, if any, local mom and pop dealers from the area. Do local dealers sell at these shows? I notice the same thing at comic book conventions. Are conventions a different breed of dealers that the shop in your area?
Probably not too many of them Pilkenton because of the expense involved. It's expensive to rent space at the bigger shows and most probably don't have the inventory to support the cost of setting up at them. Having said that, I have seen a few local dealers at big shows but not many. Bruce
