I've been debating one or both of the Boston shows for some time now. As a small operation new shows are tough. I was already established as a dealer at Philly and Chantilly when I bought the auction so I had a base of people who were already doing business with me. I usually have several scheduled consignments appointments and several walk ups at both of those shows.

Now that selling cards has become secondary to supporting the business it's harder for me to make a new show work financially. For instance I did Pittsburgh for the first time last year. I got 3 people to sign up for our email list and no consignments. Card sales didn't cover costs with rent, travel and hotel. I can only afford to do that so often.

Of course the Catch 22 is: It wasn't worthwhile because people didn't know me, but the only way to get the locals to know me is to keep going.

Thanks for the kind words and who knows, I just might see you in Boston in 2020.
