About the ICCS post...
Just to clarify, it was originally decided by the show organizers (early on) that dealers were not welcome as it was a show for collectors. Over time, dealers started to receive invites (as you can see from the list that HOB Wert posted on page 1: there are two very prominant dealers on that list).
The issue was that if dealers ARE welcome now, why not allow Mark Kalungian to attend? He may be a dealer as well, but lets face it... he has quite an impressive collection of his own.
