Great topic !!!

There used to be a bunch of shows all over the country that had great vintage material. Big shows, small shows, hotel shows, mall shows, everywhere...

But, ebay plus the 40+ sports auction houses nowadays have really put an end to all but a very few major shows including the National, Ft. Washington, and maybe Sportsfest.

It's still a lot of fun to attend the shows that have survived, but just don't expect to find any vintage material there. Just make the trip more of a social thing - go to meet fellow collectors, dealers, evening entertainment, etc,...
