I'll be there on Saturday @ Anthony's table and around the show floor. Anthony, Jason Miller and I are starting the show that will be in Culver City on May 18th. We are looking to run a throw-back, card club type show: one day, no autograph guests, low admission price, free parking, modest table pricing to encourage weekend warriors to take a table and show up. By keeping the costs and ambitions down we are hoping to create a sustainable show for the longer term where the cards and memorabilia are the focus. If it works we will make it a regular event, perhaps 2-3 times a year.

We are also tinkering with the idea of creating a card club itself with regular meetings that would occur on either an evening or weekend and not necessarily be open to the public or feature dealer-customer structure but would instead be geared to creating the sort of show it off, trade, buy and sell local camaraderie that many of us who were collecting in the late 1970s recall.
