3) And a question -- I went to the 1997 Fan Fest at what was then the Cleveland Convention Center and never had a problem driving in the 20 minutes nor finding a parking space. How much different is the new Convention Center from the old one?

Rich you are probably right. She was definitely running shows at the Westchester site in the 80's. I took the date from the stan musial promo from my collection of show memorabilia which is the first one I have that says east coast national. My point being that the idea of setting up multiple nationals has been tried before.
I also remember that back in the day one strong argument for sites all around the US is that a show like the national with lots of local ads would draw out locals who had cards sitting in basements and attics.
