To me it is not a matter of anything that "shows" don't do that makes them less appealing or relevant than they used to be. With the multitude of auctions, ebay and the Net54 BST I really don't even consider going to more than the National each year at this point. The National is an overwhelming critical mass of the hobby and is a must-go if possible, to me any other shows that I would have to travel to means spending money/time on travel, lodging, food, etc. that I can deploy on cardboard or something else. My .02.
