What upcoming shows are on your calendar?

I'm a show-aholic. I set up somewhere every weekend. I don't care if it's 15 tables or 315, I still have a good time. I'm setting up at a small show this Sunday, April 24, at the Hyatt Place Hotel in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. I'm hoping Minnesota shows aren't as dire as mentioned here because I'm heading up to the Valley West Mall show in Bloomington, MN, April 30-May 1. I'll be in Pittsburgh next month. I'm also going to hit one of Rich's Dallas shows hopefully this summer.

Whatever your expectations might be, lower them. Buyers in this area cannot support a good show therefore none exist. The mall show is promoted by the sports collectors club here and they are good people, but just the regular monthly mall show kind of show.

ya...not sure what you're peddlin' but i've been to the bloomingtom mall show and it was a lot of young kids selling shiny stuff.

I went to my first show in over 20 yrs a couple weeks ago In Toronto and really enjoyed it.

Seen some beautiful cards but all those made me wish I had more money!

I did make a few connections, seen some really unique cards, realized CDN prices, even with the exchange rate, are way over priced, and I enjoyed the time I spent with my Father.

Already looking forward to the fall expo, if I am able to attend.

For me, the closest show is Tri-Star in Houston (200 miles away). I'm hoping to get over there in June. GT Sports Marketing is doing one in May, also in Houston, that I might try to get to. I also have gone to the last two Chicago Nationals, and will probably get up there next year (I'm not going to Atlantic City this year).

Other than that, pickings are very slim here in San Antonio. I've thought about Rich's shows up in Dallas, but am not sure if it's worth the 270 mile drive.

Rich's show is great and growing but I would only drive around 2 hours, at most, one way to get to it, unless you were coming to Dallas for something else too. Eventually it could be a 3-4 hour drive show but not yet. (at least to me)
