Ill disagree too. It was down of course, like everything that involves discretionary spending these days and Ill also agree the loss of the auction hurts.

However, I was very interested to see how it compared to Bloomington's reduction and it wasn't close. Bloomington was terribly sad this year, but there were plenty of vendors in the swaps in Carlisle staying busy. I sold quite a bit and bought the items I was looking for. This with the threat of Irene over everyone's head (which incidentally did not affect the show one iota on Fri or Sat.)

It was down some, but the general interest restored my faith in the hobby a little bit after Bloomington. It was worth the 24 hours of driving. Ill post some pics later including the '69 I picked for an award.
