The FBI is again at the year's national convention. If anyone is interested in speaking with the agent about the hobby, email me at ecky3@aol.com and I am happy to send you his contact information.

From what Moustache Gang wrote, there isn't much game used. Do you think the FBI's presence is a deterent that has kept away some "questionable" dealers?

I don't think so. Many prominent sellers like Ballpark Heroes, yourself, etc., I'm guessing can use contacts, the internet, or ebay these days and do just fine on their reputation with out the cost and trouble of setting up at the National.
The National is NOT what it used to be. The absence of guys like Kim Stigall and his brother, Dave Miedema even at the show, etc etc take alot away from the show from the game used perspective. It definately is not like the old days. I used to get really geeked up about attending - now I just do it for a day of entertainment, with no expectations.
No, I do not believe the FBI has anything to do with it - just alot more options these days for the buyer and seller....
