So exactly what do you want from a show?

[bbcard1]

I got a call from Marco Rol (Chantilly) yesterday. We go back 20 years or more. He said he was interested in working to create something to make the show appealing to Net54 members. So what realistic perks would you like if you could "design your show" or part of it at least? A designated vintage area? Trade area? Free coffee and a case of crabs? Early admission for Net54 members? He would like to hear.

I have recently had pretty good luck at that show.

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.

If Net54 members were to get in early, how would we prove our membership here?

You show your tattoo, silly. I thought everyone had one. Leon said it was a condition of registering on the board....

Must have missed the memo

Were there any posted attendance figures on the 2010 National in Baltimore ?

I think that it makes all the sense in the world to group "like dealers" together. So have a section for dealer that primarily have 1800s (OJ, Mayos, etc), one for T-cards, goudeys/exhibits etc, 1950/60, 70s-modern bball, other sports, -- very similar to how the BST is organized.

Just wear your Net54 pin from The National.

You don't have one?
