The next speakers were the new ownership group of our National Convention, Joe Brian and Jimmy. They also fielded a number of questions from those in attendance.
Is this breaking news: Next year 2024 Cleveland then 2025 Chicago then 2026 it’s between Chicago Atlanta and Atlantic City. Chicago did not pitch the group. Atlanta presented a pitch. Atlantic City presented a pitch and offered some incentives $1,000 rebate to the dealers because of problems in 2022 also promised improvements in parking and state of the art wifi. https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=36350 |
Final speaker author of the book “Baseball Photography in the Dead Ball Era”
Jim Chapman. That was interesting! https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=36346 https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...ictureid=36347 |

I hope so, I never been to one of these. Wonder where it be held at? (if so possible) Mercedes Benz stadium? |
Wow, impressive speakers! Sounds like a very fun event.
Congrats for pulling it off, and to the attendees. |

I've ever been to was one in Atlanta in 1999 while I was in grad school in Knoxville. Drove down in the morning, spent my pitiful $400 I was able to save as a college student, and drove back home the same day. I thought it was fun and picked up cards I still have in my collection. If it came to Atlanta again, I would probably go. Hopefully, I can go when it's in Cleveland next year too though. Here's to hoping the new owners/committee will make some improvements and find some new locales in the coming years. |
Here is a link to the info on the 3 cities for bid and the next 2 shows:
https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...rs-convention/ So there is a voting process to determine where it be...dealers voting?? I did not know that either. Found out that a announcement will be made Late September or Early October for 2026. |
Looks like fun and looks like some great speakers
Hopefully you will do it again next year so some of us that missed it can join you all. Hope the forum members picked up some great stuff |
