The time has arrived for the National to be a semi-annual event. Regional major Shows are disappearing. My suggestion is that Baltimore
become a permanent Show in early September. And, the Chicago and California venues alternate annually in mid April.
This hobby is not experiencing the growth it enjoyed in the 1980's & 1990's. In my opinion the diminishing number of quality shows since
then has been one of the major factors causing this lack of growth. Growth is an important factor in sustaining the value of BB cards. If
you do not think this is important, just talk to your average collector of Coins and Stamps. The lack of growth in those hobbies have ad-
versly affected the values of those collectibles.
I've known John Broggi since 1981, I'm thinking that I'll contact him regarding this idea of two National's a year.
In any event, what's your thoughts on this idea ?

In Canada, the Toronto Expo serves as the country's largest show and it is held twice annually, in late April/Early May and in November.
