Well, the show is next week and I have not seen a thread for it. (I wish the search feature here would sort by last reply date. It is insufferable and is such a simple and obvious database query addition.)
Who is attending/ setting up? I will be there at booth 837 (Select Rarities). The dealer list is on the site, but share dealers included is not always complete and I can't always keep people's handles on here straight with their names/faces/companies.

Like Long Beach, this is another show that is dying.

We are close to a sell out for March Whitman Expo -- it's going to be a great event. Also, Jeff Garrett and I are doing an exclusive pre-release signing event for the 2026 Red Books on Friday 10-12. Hope to see everyone there. Here's more info: https://expo.whitman.com/

Friday if I can swing it - if not, then maybe Saturday, but not sure if it is worth it with so many empty tables

No, Saturday is definitely not worth it. Unless and until @JohnF can impose and enforce a requirement that dealers who take tables staff them from the minute the show opens on Thursday until the second it closes on Saturday, it is 3 day show in name only.
Legend complained in its January Market Reports that it was banished to Siberia at the last FUN show. Undoubtedly because they previously bailed early, against FUN's wishes, so they lost access to prime show real estate. THAT's why FUN has a great show. If Whitman is not in a position to do that, it what it is. A day and a half show. Plan accordingly.
It is well known that dealers start bailing Friday afternoon, because their business is mostly done by then and they want to be home for the weekend. They don't care about the casual retail that shows up on Saturday, and the place is always at least half empty from the minute the doors open on Saturday.
And it just gets worse from there. So, unless you live around the corner, or know for a fact that a dealer you want to see will be there on Saturday, it is absolutely not worth the trip on Saturday.
Thursday for me.
