Many of the bigger dealers have websites with their inventory online. Many dealers can otherwise be contacted by email or phone. A week or so before the show, I browse through inventory online and I email dealers that I think might have the material I&#039;m looking for, with my want list and ask them to bring the material to the show. I let them know when I&#039;m going to be there as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I get to the show, I already have a list of the dealer booth numbers. I walk up to the booths, introduce myself if I don&#039;t already know the dealer, and they pull out the material I asked them for. I&#039;ve got my NGC submissions ready to go in marked submission flips with the forms filled out. Within the first hour of the show on Friday, I&#039;ve bought all my major purchases and gotten my submissions in to NGC. My show is already a success at that point, and the rest of the day I can go to club meetings and work through the material I&#039;ve brought to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that it would be nice if all dealers stayed at shows until the posted closing times, but that&#039;s not the reality. Don&#039;t blame the dealers. They have their own schedules and reasons for coming to the show that do not include you. If you want to ensure you have a good show, find out when to go to the show, where to go at the show, and put in the work on your end to make the show a great experience for you before you even leave the house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
