Four days is a marathon. Pace the floor, protect your budget, and don't skip lunch.

Four Days on the Floor
Video coming soon — footage from the next show will appear here.
Most collectors blow their budget and their legs on day one, then spend three days window shopping. A little pacing fixes both.
A four-day plan
- ★Day one: walk the whole floor, buy nothing but note booths.
- ★Day two: targeted buying against your want list.
- ★Day three: grading drop-offs, autographs and auction preview.
- ★Day four: closing-hour deals and pickup of graded submissions.
- ★Split your budget across days so day four still has ammunition.
VIP lounge access is worth it purely for a quiet chair and a drink halfway through each day.
