Upcoming Locations For The National

[Leon]

I am not a big Dallas proper fan. Lots of great people there, but going north a little, is more my taste. And I will go out on a limb and say that Frisco TX might be able to handle a larger show and have a big enough venue. The Ford Center (Cowboys HQ) has 510,000 square feet and is almost brand new. It still wouldn't be a gimee there as I am not sure how that all works .
The current (April) Texas Card Show is happening just a few minutes from it. According to Money Magazine the 2018 best place to live in the US is Frisco TX. It is like a brand new city, all shiny and new, was built overnight. I think out of town dealers, vendors and hobbyists will love Frisco. There is no more vibrant place around here, imo, (though we don't live there.) We are happy in our current house of 20 yrs, which is about 25 minutes away. Otherwise Frisco would have been a great option. All just 1 opinion.

I’m glad some people did well in Baltimore, but I skipped the last one there. Keeping it away from the west coast is just wrong. That’s what happens when a clown show runs it and is only in it for the money.

PS: who limits tables when their is a long line of people that want a booth and ton of extra space in the venue???? I guess more corporate booths and giveaways is what collectors really want after all.

You can’t even get the promoters to return an email or phone call much less think outside the box. No one should wonder why our hobby is going down the drain. Only passionate collectors are left, the days of getting people to “drop in” to a show are long gone. They need a 2nd mortgage to pay admission and get a couple of autographs.

Good stuff, Leon! The show you have going in April could grow into a viable alternative. Obviously, I would be all for that. It is exciting to have something like that within 4 hours of my home!
