I live in Jacksonville and have been very disappointed at the "shows" we've had around here.
I put quotations around the word "shows" because the few they've held here have been more about NASCAR and the NFL than about baseball. To be fair...we're an hour up the coast from Daytona and have an NFL team here, but I don't get the lack of shows here; Florida is filled with retired collectors from the Northeast and you'd think that some good stuff would come out as some of these elderly collectors begin pulling out their cards to help subsidize their golden years.
However...I still can't get over asking if a seller has "vintage baseball cards" and seeing the 1981 Topps cards come out. So if you're driving up the coast looking for a decent card show, you don't even need to stop in Jax. Even the few cards shops here aren't really worth checking out.
