Dan, why not do both events? Just tell the Silver Spring promoter that you have another committment and have to scoot early (say 12:30 or 1 p.m - you won't make any sales after this time anyway ). It's a fairly quick drive from Silver Spring to the Net54 get together, which runs until 5 p.m. And, so that us good Net54 folks would have more time to view spectacular cards from your personal collection, I'm thinking that Ryan will be glad to stop by the Silver Spring show on his way around the beltway to the Net54 get together and pick up a couple of locked showcases of cards from your pc to entertain us until you arrive. As the old expression goes, "be there or be square!"

I'm thinking how great it would be if this event were to evolve into the Annual Net54 Pre-War National!

Now that is a good idea….

Agree with Val.

Baltimore baseball broadcaster/analyst Phil Wood used to run an annual vintage sports equipment show in the Baltimore-DC area for about 5 or 6 years in the late 1990's. It was about 50 dealers or so, who all were selling vintage sports equipment, memorabilia, uniforms, bats, balls, stadium seats, pennants, autographs, etc,... in all sports. It was really good show in different areas of Baltimore & DC (Bethesda, Timonium, Capital Hill, etc,...) Why not make this a vintage sports card & memorabilia annual show, with a focus on vintage baseball cards ?

Speaking of memorabilia, I am going to try to attend as my parents recently moved a couple of hours from there so it will be a good excuse to see them. I plan to bring some lemon peel and other early baseballs, some early bats, and some 19th century ephemera. Some will be for show but others will be for trade or sale. Thank you for offering this!

Thanks, Ryan. I wish my wife would say this to me once in a while!

Because there is so much to see and do in the DC area, I'm thinking that an annual event also would be popular with the non-collector wives and children.

I’m thinking how great it is that this is in our backyard basically!

Ryan, I was trying to surprise you and come down with my son, but unfortunately it ends up we're jammed that weekend. Have a great time, and I hope to make the next one.

Mike, I appreciate the thought. If you change your mind (or next one), you guys can stay with me if you want

This is shaping up to be bigger than last year. If we can get some real traction, perhaps it becomes the Vintage National

Thanks Ryan! I really appreciate that offer, means a lot.

Are you planning to do the events annually in February?

[notfast]

Looking forward to this.

I’ll def be bringing some cards for buy/sell/trade.

Michael - Sorry that you won't be there. It would have been great to see you.

Thanks! Agreed. I will certainly plan to make a future event.
