"Tried: to attend the show....it was extremely crowded, perhaps 200+ people in a room with no ventilation to speak of.
No way at all to social distance, no temperature checks, no sanitizers. People mingling like pre covid with the only change that they were wearing masks.
It felt like as if the virus did not exist....did not enjoy it at all and did not stay long...perhaps others have different points of view for me it was too close for comfort!
I just got back, I actually thought it was a slightly smaller crowd than 2 yeas ago and that was down from the year prior. It seemed like a slow easy going show to me. I know they have a 75% rule in PA which means 75% of the capacity and in PA it is strictly enforced. When I talked to the show promoter, he indicated that we were nowhere near the 75% capacity limit. When I visited the town on Saturday, I had to wait at 3 stores to get in as they only allowed the 75%. The room was warm b/c the heat was on in the morning, it got better as the day went on. All in all seemed like a pretty good show, there was certainly a variety of product, more like Ebay on steroids in that department if you think of variety. I give plastic collectors credit, there is a crapton more of that stuff than I have ever imagined
Gettysburg is a laid back show compared to NY/NJ shows. They always seem a lot busier. I had a nice table mate in Curahee Chris, it was a lot of fun getting a chance to visit with him!

Forgot, another vendor took a lot of pictures, he will I am sure post his full report for those looking for photos!
