The Strongsville show has been going since 1978. "The Professor", Jeff Sindelar, used to run it with friends of his for the longest time. And after his passing, Paul Fusco took over the helm, and made sure to keep it vintage. Paul passed away in January of the year before the pandemic, so his wife, Debbie, ran it that one last time in 2019, before the pandemic cancelled the next two years. Finally came back this past Spring, but the Holiday Inn it had always been held at was taken over by Best Western, so it is no longer the Strongsville Holiday Inn show, as it was commonly referred to locally. And the show has now been taken over by the guy who owns and operates the Toronto Sport Card and Memorabilia Expo, Steve Menzie. The Show's website still advertises it as a premier vintage show, so hopefully the new owner will continue that tradition going forward.
