Hi Ryan,

I'm very interested in attending such an event but I don't have near the collection of cards that some of the other attendees would be bringing. In other words, I wouldn't be "showing off" anything, but would love to see some of what others bring. If that's ok with you, then I would think about coming. Let me know.



1. How far would you drive/travel to attend? I could go to Tyson's Corner and it would work out for me at that location.

2. Andrew and I live near DC, so it will be in that area. Is there a preference on Northern, VA (Tysons corner) vs somewhere around I495 in Maryland? Again, Tysons Corner works for me.

3. Are you more or less likely to attend if we did it the weekend of one of the Chantilly shows? If so, would you be more likely to attend after the show closes or during the day while the show is going on). Chantilly is a 3 day event I like the idea of the beginning part of the year after the holidays are over.

Alternatively - is there a time of year that is better than others if not done the same weekend as a Chantilly show?

4. Any preference for a smaller hotel conference room, restaurant, or private office (the preference is to use a smaller hotel conference room) Hotel would likely be a nice place to meet up.

5. Would your decision to attend be impacted if there was a nominal door charge ($5-$10)? I'd be happy to chip in to cover any costs

6. Would you prefer the focus stay on prewar, or just baseball, or open it up to a more broad range of collectors? Note- I am pretty sure that anything after 1979 will be strictly outlawed and YouTubing will be grounds for dismissal. I'd this that for this crowd maybe prewar and 50's-60's stuff, especially regional and oddball from the post war period.

Thanks a lot,

Andy
