Future of the National – South and West Locations

[Rhotchkiss]

I live in DC. I would not fly to Vegas or out west for a card show; in fact, I haven’t yet attended the show in Chicago. But I do go to almost every Philly and Chantilly show and I usually don’t miss Nationals in Cleveland and Atlantic City. I fly all the time for work and pleasure, yet I really have no interest flying for a card show. I sincerely hope you west coast people get a National, or a similar show, and if you do, send some pics bc I will not be attending.

Given that I live in the state, I am no doubt biased but I wonder if serious thought has ever been given to Orlando as a S/E location for the National. To me, it has many advantages; easy access, very consumer friendly, tons of hotels and restaurants, large populations centers in close proximity, eg. Atlanta, Tampa, Jacksonville, Mobile etc. and, of course, let's not forget Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Hi

I agree I do not believe I would travel to far for a Nationals.

I would not mind the "NATIONALS" rotating around the country.

Not sure how many I would attend if not on the east coast but it would be good for it to rotate.

As someone mentioned early it would only make sense in locations that can support a strong local base of people to attend. Due to the financials related to it.

Would love to see bigger Regional Shows.

Orlando would be killer. 2 hour drive from Jacksonville. Good hotels and places to eat. What’s not to like!
