Why not May, June, or July then. Summer break is in effect all those months also. Plus people with kids won't be stressing money spending since school clothes and tuition are a few months out

As the parent of school-aged children, may and June are not an option and I'm willing to bet a significant percentage of the potential attendees are in the same boat.

There was a time when the National was held earlier.

If I am not mistaken the 1996 Anaheim National was just before July 4. I have a 1992 Atlanta National program handy and it was held July 9 - 12.

Again I a relying on my memory but I think the 1999 Atlanta National was in middish July.

I am sure other board members has programs from past National shows.

I could handle that! Remember going to a large show back in the late 80's and Red Shoendinst was a signer held at one of the casinos.

There was a Las Vegas National Sports Collectors Convention proposal. In 1980, at the very first National, the late Will Davis proposed to hold the National in L.V. for 1981. I don't recall the vote totals but Will got several votes among dozens cast. The winner, of course, was Lloyd & Carol Toerpe's proposal for Plymouth, Michigan (Greater Detroit!) - which turned out to be an excellent early show.

It just seems it would be a no brainer.
