As usual you selectively pick & choose to ignore anything I (or others) post. Here are my comments regarding GROWTH trends in the hobby
that I posted back in Post #12.
And, do NOT say you didn't read this.....because you quoted my last sentence in this post in your attempt to be a wise-ass (in post #13).
My comments in post #12......
""History, during the GROWTH years (1970's to 1990's), of major BB card shows totally contradicts such an absurdity.
For example. the Philly Show started as an annual event in Willow Grove, PA in 1975. Then it was expanded to a March and September show.
Bob Schmierer expanded it to 3 times a year in 1988. And, when it moved to a larger facility (Ft. Washington) in 1993, it was expanded to 4
shows a year. Each of these expansions increased the attendance and improved the quality of this show. The same can be said for several
other shows across the country in that time period.
However, for various and sundry factors, we are no longer in a GROWTH trend in this hobby. Having the National twice a year may introduce
some new excitement into the hobby, and reverse this trend."
Rob....stop being such a freakin' contrarian.....just grow up, will you.
