Planning on traveling to shows in 2020?

Wilmington show ??? Is that any good. Is it in NC ? Not Delaware.

I travel to shows in Dubuque and LaCrosse, which are 90 minutes one way. Madison and Davenport 2 hours. Eau Claire and Milwaukee 3 hours. I doubt that I will attend shows in Chicago or Minneapolis, which are around 4 hours away. I have tentative plans to go to the New Orleans show again, which is about 16 hours. New Orleans is a surprisingly small show but the gumbo makes up for it.

I remember when we had a show in my hometown, and a dozen or so shows within 40 minutes of my home, but those days are long gone.

I would guess Mass from the travel times.

I hit the two TriStar Houston shows each year. Last year I made the trip to Dallas to the show Leon co-sponsored which was the first time I'd actually traveled to an out-of-town show since the Nationals in Arlington in the 80s.

Lately, I've given some thought to making the Atlantic City National. I grew up and still have family in the NY/NJ metro area. I may try for a 'kitchen pass'.

I will attend all the Chicago Sports Spectacular shows in Rosemont...I live near Madison WI, so only about 2 1/2 hour drive

We have it pretty good in Western MI. There are several shows with in 45 minutes of where I live. For the most part there is a decent mix of cards from the 50's to present, which works out well for my son and me. Every once in a while there will be pre 1950 cards. Muskegon, Holland, and a few different venues in the Grand Rapids area. There even more options with in 3 hours over in the Detroit area.
That being said my son and I get to several shows a year.
