I have only set-up at two National Conv....1984 in NJ and recently (2003)
at Atlantic City. And, I have only attended 2 Nationals....St. Louis (1982)
and 1988 at Atlantic City. To me, the olde Willow Grove Shows and current
Ft. Washington Shows are the "Nationals".
The only time I traveled west (way west) is to do the early '90s Kit Young
shows in Hawaii. Staying with Mark Macrae in northern California to do a
few local shows there before we both flew out to Hawaii.
The next time a National is near the East coast I will try to attend. In the
last 6 yrs, however, the National (for unknown reasons) has coincided with the
HOF weekend. The only other show I do is on that weekend in Cooperstown. It
is a great little Show (only 20 dealers) in the VFW building in town. The crowd
is tremendous and the show environment is reminiscent of the early 1980's
BB card shows.
