They’ve had some great guests too which makes the show attendance even better. If anyone is interested, I’ve posted their latest show ad here.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for posting this. Will you be at this show? I'm planning to go.

Since switching from card collecting to game used memorabilia, I haven't been to a card show in 10 years.

You mentioned a Bingo Hall in Virginia Beach. Is this the one you're referring to on Witchduck Road? When I was collecting cards, I never missed a show. The shows weren't big, but they were fun.

In my post, I mentioned I wish we had a big show in Virginia Beach. I'm referring to a national show. We have the huge convention center, with many hotels on the beach, and we now have the first casino in Virginia, in Portsmouth, VA. I'm hoping one day we will have one here.

I agree with the sentiments expressed so far. There is a local show in
Xenia, Ohio (population approximately 25,000 and located near Dayton,
and certainly within easy driving of Cincinnati) that attracts 170+ tables
monthly! It started smaller and has grown at a steady pace. There is a
variety of sport and era available, memorabilia, even non sport in surprising
amounts. I have no dog in the fight- don't have a table or a role other than
to attend- it is just a lot fun. Hope it keeps up! Trent King

PS- Can't wait for Strongsville in April, now THAT is a great show. Rickey

Tony,

I'll be at the Feb. 25th show at the Fieldhouse. The bingo hall I mentioned is the Pembroke Bingo Hall - http://www.757cardshows.com/

I'd love a great big show in VB or Richmond for that matter.
