The National is here. Six hundred dealers. Five hundred thousand square feet. Thirty-six hours of show floor time.

That level of choice can make every card feel important. Every deal feel temporary. Every purchase feel necessary.

But the best show experience starts before you walk through the doors.

In this episode, Brett shares how collectors can build a hunt list, research dealers, set buying rules, create a flex budget, and protect their collecting taste from the pressure of the room.

The goal is not to avoid buying cards.

The goal is to make sure the show does not make the decision for you.

Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.
