According to their website:

The current schedule for the National is: 2011-Chicago; 2012-Baltimore; 2013-Chicago; 2014-Cleveland; 2015-Chicago; 2016-TBD; 2017-TBD; 2018-Cleveland.

Bummer! Just making sure everybody is awake Thanks for correcting... I would have been the only one in Cleveland next year.

M@tt, that's funny. Not poking fun at the confusion about year/location; it just reminded me of my first national show goof.

That year, the National show was in Rosemont, IL. I arrived at the Rosemont Arena and an empty parking lot, and wondered "where are all the cars?" Good thing I brought along an issue of SCD (it once had a use). I located the ad listing and after closer examination, realized the error of my ways. It all ended happily ever after. I located the actual show, had a great 1st National experience, and even purchased acouple of awesome autographed team sheets.

Nice! Been to the Rosemont to cover basketball games against DePaul. Where was the actual show?

I posted these on the memoribilia side as well...
1) Carl Hubbell circa 1920's signed snapshot

2) A 1938 fan letter to Johnny Vander Meer requesting his autograph. "Double no-hit" Johnny honored his request and interestingly enough penned the autographs of HOF Ernie Lombardi and Ival Goodman as well!

3) Bob Feller small collection of membership cards from his personal estate. Several have his signature. The light blue membership also has the signature of Ernie Shore that combined with Babe Ruth to throw an unofficial no-hitter in 1917. Ernie Shore became a Sheriff in North Carolina after his days in baseball...

Enjoy!

Mark,
Yes sir! It makes you wonder how often this actually went on during the 1930's...

Vandy was a giver!
