So Cal dealers Gavin Riley, Steve Brunner, Clay Hill, Tony Galovich and even Goodie Goldfaden were regular attendees at the Nor Cal shows years back. While gas prices have gone up since then, so has fuel efficiency. Four vintage dealers, each with a few albums full of vintage cards and an overnight bag could easily fit in a Prius wagon and their expenses wouldn't be much higher than the cost of a couple In N Out Burgers....of which there happen to be a few of located in the Big Valley...
Since last year there was an explosion of In N Out Burgers in N.Texas. We have one on every corner now. They are great burgers but I think they over-saturated the market. I look for a few of them to actually close down (locally) because of their over population. And back to the subject, I would love to be able to drive for 2-3 hours to get to a good one day show. I would do that every day. I understand that the original show we are discussing is a 3 day show so that might be doable if it keeps going. Coming west would be fun as we always go east.
