Sounds good to me! Like others have said, I just like it to be in the middle of other things. That's why Cleveland is reported to be fairly lame. There is a convention center downtown in Cleveland but they are not using it in favor of the one all the way out by the airport. Not fun.

granted i'm biased because i'm from philly and baltimore is under 1 1/2 hours from my house, and i've been to both shows there and have had a blast.... but to state the obvious: if the two shows in baltimore were as successful as everyone has been saying, why wouldn't it come back to baltimore in the near future??

Umm...San Diego would be great...nice convention center that is close to everything including the airport, hotels, petco, dining, clubs, bars, family stuff, national parks, zoo, etc. It would be ideal.

+1 for San Diego or Vegas. Especially San Diego. It couldn't be any better, as all the stuff Joshua mentions is within 10 minutes of the Convention Center. Infinite hotels and dining, and the Gaslamp Quarter and Petco Park are a 2 minute walk. Mix it up, for Christ's sake

The "10 Convention Centers that are big enough" is a ridiculous excuse for not venturing west of the Mississippi. If San Diego can host Comic Con and Las Vegas can host the Consumer Electronics Show, then either venue could easily accommodate the National.

I concur Peter. Kansas city would be great also. Has everything needed and the airport is cheap to fly in and out of.

+1 for KC. Tons to do, central location, easy access in and out. Plus the Negro Basball Museum is a must see for any baseball fan.

In the 80's Kansas City used to have some spectacular shows which were every bit as good as today's Nationals. Something happened in the early 90's and they have slowly evaporated. I remember seeing Joe D one year, Ted Williams the next year and Stan Musial the following year. I think Mantle made an appearance also. I am not sure who ran the shows but I remember buying my very first T206, an exmt Tinker bat on shoulder from a very young guy named Bill Mastro 30 years ago, who had all his T206s in a notebook in plastic pages. Memories...

John Mehlin & Jim Cumpton were the promoters who ran successful shows for many years in Overland Park just outside KC. Always great buying & selling shows back in the day. I set up at many of them.

I remember attending a 3-day show in Overland Park around 1996 or 1997. Fantastic show !!!
