East Coast National show in August

The east coast collectors have it made hands down as far as shows go...

Can we all say FORT WASHINGTON - WOW, now those are shows!!! People can hold an East Coast "National" but FORT WASHINGTON is a dream show. I wish they had something like that on the west coast and if you live in middle America you'd wish you had the equivalent of a FORT WASHINGTON show there a few times a year.

It would be really neat to see a majority vintage card show that made the rounds from east coast to west coast. Perhaps 3 or 4 shows a year that included dealers with quality merchandise along with local dealers from the event area or any dealer that wanted to participate. Call it the Traveling Vintage Card Sports (Baseball) Card show. Try to keep most of the material vintage and include players from the past. Wouldn't it be neat to have players that may not have been so well known but could tell their stories about playing against some of the great players of the past. I'd love to see Jim Bouton at a show so I could get a signed copy of Ball Four. By the way, is it me or in the past didn't we call all of those sports cards shows "baseball" card shows?

Sorry to stray a bit but the thought of an east coast national makes me envious when I think of all those great shows they already have back there.
