Nationals in Baltimore

I've never been to Nationals, but this time it's reasonably local. Is it worth going down ? What to expect compared to other shows ?

The Philly Sports/Cards show used to be rather large. It's still decent size, but not what it was 15+ years ago.

Multiply the best Philly show (think 10 years ago in Ft. Washington) and multiply it by a factor of 4 or more. Far more selection, tables and corporate activity than your local large show. Philly used to be one of the best regional shows in the country, but is now a shell of what it used to be. Blame it on the economy, the Internet and poor management decisions since Hunt took it over (although it was weakening rapidly before the temporary venue shift to Reading and eventual Hunt buyout)...
