I think it makes more sense
In terms of having a body on the East Coast that can also set up at shows for PSA, go to stores, etc. That way you can fly in one less person for many shows AND thus save on plane fees, and if the show is close enough some hotel fees as well.
Let's say the show was in Willow Grove and I was a PSA rep from my home town (in North NJ):
Instead of flying and potential delays, I could drive own to the show in about 90 minutes. Also -- from California to PA -- you would probably have to fly in the day before. And then I could drive back on Sunday. That saves 2 days hotel fare AND a flight fare. Right there, I have saved my company several hundred dollars. Take that serveral times a year,, and I've saved my company thousands of dollars. In addition, I can become the point person for PSA to have people send in their cards. That lets the PSA dealers spend more time on what they need to do which is buy/sell cards.
I understand this totally -- makes perfect sense -- and I think a good move for PSA to be more active on the East Coast.
