I have been to 2 Nationals. Both of them were more years ago than I care to think about and probably older than than some people here. I have also been to dozens of card shows over the years, both large and small. I would have loved to attend more Nationals over the years but job and family cut into that. I had actually thought about making the drive up 95 to AC but other things became a priority, sadly.

Correct, Tuff-Stuff sold to Krause publications. I recall one of the last Tuff-Stuff shows where the owners (brothers I believe) were sitting at a table near the entrance answering questions. Not an engaging happy pair. I knew then, that Krause was not going to continue promoting shows. The Tuff-Stuff shows coupled with the monthly show in Tysons Corner was a boon for my collection.
