I had been to many good shows like the Shriner's Show in Wilmington, Mass, the Willow Grove Show and the old Gallagher shows at the Union Hall in NYC, but the National always (or used to be) an eye opener.

Never kept an accurate account of how many I set up at. It was about 20, starting around 1998. I remember the last one, 2021 the year after the show was cancelled in 2020. That was a madhouse, shows all over got better for a couple years, unlike anything I ever experienced.

I retired in November, 2023, just could not keep up any longer and needed to stay closer to home to take better care of myself on a daily basis.

I was able to set up in Chicago, Cleveland, Baltimore, and Atlantic City. My favorite venue was Cleveland for a number of reasons. All of them were good shows, but Cleveland had an advantage in cheaper lodging, more space, and ease of finding places to eat.

The shows are always better with a buddy or two, mine were Ron Estes of Coach Estes Cards and Ray Isham, a pennant guy. Great travel companions!

For any attendees who drive to the shows, Cleveland is the easiest with parking right in front of the venue.

1988 Atlantic City. Wasn't as good as I had hoped.

1980 LA. My dad took me. I was 9 years old. I bought a 1953 Topps Jackie Robinson for a few bucks. It had a curved crease across his face so I upgraded it several years ago. Regret getting rid of that one just because it held memories.
