Chicago Sports Spectacular

Hey gang; wondering if someone who has attended previous years could advise on the number of dealers at the CSS. It’s at the same venue as the NSCC in Chicago; are there 80% as many dealers/tables? 50%? I’m most interested in the card dealers (not really the game-used or framed-item or similar specialty guys). Trying to determine if its with the trip. Thanks in advance.

    I know the shows in March and November usually have a good amount of dealers. Nowhere near the number at the National, but it's worth attending. However I'm not sure how many dealers attend other shows, like the one coming up in June.

    I've never been to the National, but have been to many of the March/November shows. I went to the first June show they had a couple years ago before the Cubs won the world series and was disappointed in the amount of dealers they had. It was not in the same floor where the March/November shows were, but downstairs in a space much smaller. There were maybe 1/4 of the dealers at that show vs the March/November shows. It was the first time they had that show, so maybe it was just a feeler show to see how it went ...IDK. I also don't know if it has changed to the larger room or not.

    Sorry; didn’t specify the June show next week. We’ll give it a try. Thanks for the help.

    I'd say 50-60%.
