Yes, a lot of memorabilia, a lot of cards, and very cheap wax. Great Time. Check out BoJack Empire in the Corner near the concession stand on the left side. Great prices and great cards, plus just really nice guys.

Yes, all kinds of wax. Everything New, everything old. All for very good prices. There are usually 3 main dealers set up in terms of wax.

I think that Friday will be the night to be at this show. Saturday is St. Patricks Day and you have to deal with the south side Irish parade. Sunday is the day that the trade conference starts in Las Vegas so there will be lots of the serious dealers headed to Vegas for the free stuff.
Friday night should be great at the show.

I went to the last show. Prices were like Blowout but a lot were even less. Way better than any lcs I have been to. Got some nice buys last time. Just check all the big tables with wax they all tend to be a little cheaper on one or two products vs the others. Then go to whatever is cheaper for what you want.
Last time I went on Saturday and alot of the wax had been marked down some to price match or beat the other guys. Probably even more on Sunday. Friday probably has the highest wax prices

Most likely will be there all three days, but Saturday and Sunday for sure
The Rosemont is a sweet place for this show and seems to have some cool guys there.
I HAVE had some crappy experiences with some dealers but for the most part I have a good time and it is certainly worth the trip
Have fun my friend

I hate that the Industry Summit is the same time. Chicago is a great show but I had to chose Vegas during march madness over it.

Show isn't on Thursday my man. Wish it were though. It's just as busy as any show really, long line to get in if you get there before it opens but it's pretty much open and you'll see quite a few people. Just go for the whole day man. You'll enjoy yourself.

Just a few minutes if your there before it opens, but otherwise not really any wait.
And it is 4:30 unless you buy the vip package then it is 4.
