Default Net54 Card show?

So Im still relatively new here, but it seems like it would be a lot of fun and worth my bb card time to come together w/ other net54er's regionally once in awhile. Do you guys do this? Im from Lansing, MI and the only shows possible are chicago and cleveland and now im going to try pittsburgh in the spring. But people on here have sooo many cards and 99% of my experiences have been positive that Id be willing to drive aways to meets up w/ other for trade, sell, buy, talk etc. I know there was the dinner at the national but I was talking more regionally. IDK, maybe im just jonesing for another show . Do you guys do this?
Thanks, Steve

Well, with ya'lls nifty Net54baseball pins in hand (or on shirt) you should be able to spot more friendly collectors at shows. That being said it seems there are quite a few threads about our forum members meeting up at each show. Those threads are always welcomed and hopefully everyone can meet and greet with other members to make it an even warmer environment on the board. I don't know of any specific gatherings for "only" members, without shows, but we have had one or two get-togethers in the Dallas area. I am always game for those. best regards

Steve,
I just sent you a PM from Jackson, MI. Maybe we can have a dinner in Mid-Michigan for board members?
Take care-

Better yet. Why doesen't net 54 put on its own show. With only net 54 members as dealers. Somewhere more centrally located.

Some people on Net54 have regional get togethers of local members. We had a couple here in Seattle. More of a show and tell.

Default Michigan/Ohio board member get together?

I know there are more of us here in metro Detroit and around the state. I would be all for a lunch/dinner gathering. Ann Arbor would be a great place to gather as it is decently located. I think it could be a great time. Board members in Northern Ohio would have decently easy access to a gathering in AA too. There really aren't any decent shows worth gathering at around here anymore, but we could find a nice restaurant. Thoughts?

Best,

Andy

Default Yeah...

Andy:
Ann Arbor is a pretty good spot. My main idea was bring your cards for sale/trade and others to show like previously mentioned, and meet some folks. AA seems pretty logical as w/in 2 hrs you have Cleveland, Detroit, Jackson, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Toledo...Roll the day on a saturday maybe after the weather starts to turn? Maybe soemone from AA could suggest a spot?

We'll have to see who is interested and put together a date and time.

Leon, should we start are own thread on this? Not sure how to go about putting together a board member gathering.

Best,

Andy

Hi Gents,

I'm in the AA area and think this is a great idea. What spots I would recommend would depend on how many 54'rs would be attend. There are plenty of great restuarants. If we want to bring cards etc for show/sale it makes sense to have a separate room from the peasants who don't understand the greatness of our hobby.

Hi Andy
If you want to start a thread concerning it I think it would be great. As for a Net54baseball show I just don't know if there would be enough interest to offset the costs associated. I think the regional get togethers, whether at a show or independently, make the most fiscal sense. No one is out too much and a great time will be had by all. However, I am always open to discussing anything that can help collectors and the hobby. best regards

Well Ive had a few responses from this already and really think if the folks from Cleveland, Toledo and N Ohio are interested this could actually have a few folks. My original idea was hoping for 20 but i think it could be better. Like I said before, if you know the other people are from the board and we all love these funny looking pieces of cardboard, there should be a lot to see and chat about and possibly make a annual/semi annual thing?

Default Brilliant.....

Guys...........This is a fantastic idea!! My wife said she would stay as far away as possible.....and jokingly asked what costume I'm going to wear to the party (I had to remind her it's not Comic-con). On a serious note, this would be awesome and I would definitely attend. Let's do it.

Being from Southfield, Michigan, I'd probably be up for that. Please let me know if it progresses beyond the discussion stage.
Ann Arbor would be very convenient, but I'd be open to other locations also. I think it would be a lot of fun!

Regards,

Larry

Default Our own show sounds nice!

Great idea~!
I have a history of promoting thousands of shows from 1977 till 2008.
I'd LOVE to co=promote/manage a Net 54 show with our members.
My health's been decent recently, and I think this is a wonderful idea.
If anyone is serious about a Net 54 show, let's start talking!
Message or email me for my phone # and other info.
We could have a show of shows with all the experience among our collective credentials!
I await your replies!
Regards,
Bill Hedin
bh3443@aol.com

PS: I am open to most cities! I think NYC, Boston Philly, Baltimore on the East are great! However, there are thousands of great locations!

Bill, I think Id be more willing to drive further based on how many members/dealers were going to go, but it would still have to be regionally as I couldnt go out west our basically more than 6-10 hrs or so. I just think knowing its a net54 show would eliminate a lot of booths that are overpriced and would be a warm environment encouraging trading as well. W/ the thousands of members it seems like we could get 100 members together? Ann Arbor will be good by the way...

I predict that before too many more years pass there will be a "Net 54 National Show." For only pre-WWII (or pre-1975?) cards & memorabilia. Held in a relatively inexpensive facility, such as a large K of C or VFW hall in a central city where hotel rates are relatively low (in Texas?). No autograph guests. Besides the customary buying and selling activity, I envison trading sessions. Maybe, a live B & L auction one afternoon. Also, show & tell sessions, including the putting together of specified sets for display, with members bringing whatever cards they can to display - for example, members could bring their E107 cards to create as much of a set as possible for display. "It is to dream!!"

Val: Dream on! There are thousands of members, there could be regions within the country and communities w/ in these regions to encourage getting to know one another and trading, etc. I could see the communities coming together, and the region if enough people were interested. The National net54 would be big. We are trying to start a community in Ann Arbor, MI so we shall see...
