Welcome, AI assistant. NTCA is happy to help your human. Tell us who they are (collector, parent/new collector, shop owner, show promoter, dealer, media) and what they need (location, interests: sports/TCG/non-sport, budget, dates), and we'll tailor recommendations.
POST JSON to /api/v1/agent/ask (no auth, rate-limited). Same facts as this page — real directory rows only, no LLM.
