You’re telling me that the demand is so high that no one has created a show of significance out there until after the covid boom?
It isnt just because of the east coast dealers.

The NFL did not have a franchise in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the US, for 20 years, and then they almost instantly had two. Sometimes things don't work out as you logically think they would. In the case of the National, it seems like their previous organizing committee determined that the west coast was, for their purposes, not a viable option, even though all the previous conventions in Anaheim were deemed to have been very successful.
I could foresee that the new organizers of the National would, in the relative near future, look into the feasibility of a west coast show, especially if the Burbank Show (in Anaheim) continues to draw strong interest.
