Hope to see you there, Leon. Can't wait til things get back to normal.

I hate to bring a sour sub-topic to the discussion. But, given all of the theft and other scammery going on at shows, I would be concerned with everyone wearing masks. A large part of the security apparatus used to protect higher-value cards relies on being able to identify people (video or in-person). I would be hesitant to put anything out in fear someone grabs and runs.

Sure, there are ways to try and safeguard. But it's just one more challenge with COVID and there are a lot of desperate people out there.

As a customer and vendor at all of Kyle's DFW shows (I missed the other one in Arlington); I have not heard or witnessed anything about thefts and we've had good attendance and almost as good mask wearing. Frankly, a really good thief is going to get you with or without a mask.

Has anyone heard any updates about the Strongsville Show Scheduled in April?

Hopefully that does not get cancelled again like it was in 2020.

Just waiting for Mass. to open shows!

Have been doing some flea markets and may try NH. or Conn. this year if we are stuck with another long wait.

Hopefully we will get some openings as the vaccine gets more widely distributed. I have been talking to Danny M about setting up at Chantilly or Philly, whichever is open next. It would be great to see everyone in Chicago in 2021 also.
