There is no excuse for the promoters of the National not
checking the calendar during these past 6 years so they
wouldn't conflict with the annual Cooperstown ceremonies.

The HOF weekend has not varied much over these past years.
And, now that it is set to the last weekend in July, that wiill
not change anything.
And, it's not just me, many hobbyist who I get together with up
in Cooperstown, can't understand why the people who run the
National cannot anticipate that this (HOF w/e) is a major event
in the BaseBall world,
There are many collectors who book at least a year in advance to
be in Cooperstown every July. Lodging and facilities are very
limited and very expensive in that part of New York state.

I recall the National was usually in August. Why did they
change that schedule ?
