One year ago I had my first conversation about doing a small show in the Burbank area, today we just announced that we'll be taking The Burbank Card Show to the Anaheim Convention Center. Anaheim is synonymous with legendary card shows of the past and we're so excited to land there for our third event. Wish me luck, gonna need it.

The show is scheduled for August 30-September 3 a very appropriate weekend as the Labor Day weekend was the time of the 1980 NSCC

Excellent! Since I moved down here from Toronto I've missed the access to bigger shows.

Finally! Count me in. Attendance should be through the roof.

Many good things have gotten their start in Burbank. This just might get me to attend a big card show again.

Dodgers hosting the Braves that weekend, Wow, Cool

Thanks for Sharing, This is exciting news

This should be interesting. I sure hope this show attracts a lot of vintage dealers. If it does well, perhaps they can make it a more frequent event. The Anaheim location would be great.

Okay, so what's the punchline? Obviously this isn't real is it?? . Oh, and it's about time!

Thankfully Anaheim is a lot closer than Burbank.....but I think it's unfortunate for them to pick a major holiday weekend...maybe it works for them....and I hope it does!

Works out well for me, I'm just a few minutes away. I will be there for sure.

Excited for this. About time someone did something big on the West Coast. Could be as big as the Natty

[Snowman]

So awesome! Definitely hope to make this one.

For many years the conventions organized by Mike Berkus and Steve Brunner were held during the Memorial and Labor Day weekends in Anaheim and business was always brisk. There were also major shows during these weekends in Los Angeles across from LAX and at the Buena Park Hotel next to Knotts Berry Farm. It would be nice to have these shows in our backyard once again!

Under construction:
1970 Topps Baseball - missing over 100 cards, mostly after #450 and the three insert sets

Oh man you're bringing back memories. I'm hoping that these shows are going to continue and they become the West Coast National that we've all been waiting for and deserve.

For those in So Cal, I guess there have been some fairly large shows in Del Mar (San Diego) and they will be putting on what looks like a very big show July 14th-15th at Pechanga Casino in Temecula. If you google del mar card show it should lead you to the website. That will leave almost 2 months between that one and the Labor day show to reload the coffers.

Table fees seem to have skyrocketed since things reopened. The last few shows I've seen advertised in Cali, fees are $500 and up per table. Is that true across the country?

So did anyone here attend the Ontario show? I heard contrasting information in regards to vintage offerings and sales. Just curious. Thanks!

[mr2686]

I went Saturday to the Ontario show...it was pretty darn great in my opinion. It was pretty big (not National big, but the next best) and it did have a lot of modern but it also had a lot of vintage. I was able to pick up a couple of boxing cards, some 70's Sugar Daddy's basketball, a 70 Clemente and a T205 Clyde Engle. Definitely worth going and I'm betting the Anaheim show will be bigger and better. Can't wait!

Ya know what else is not super helpful? Not reading an entire thread before opening one's mouth.

The Ontario show was referenced above and no place else on this site, that I could see. Might want to take up your complaint with the promoter in the future. Not someone innocently asking a question. Now how is that for helpful?
