UPDATED -- Mid-Atlantic Trade Event - Opinions Wanted!

[jefferyepayne]

First, Ryan, thank you so much for even considering setting something like this up again!

1. How far would you drive/travel to attend? 1 hour in any direction

2. Andrew and I live near DC, so it will be in that area. Is there a preference on Northern, VA (Tysons corner) vs somewhere around I495 in Maryland? Since I'm in Northern VA, I'd clearly prefer NOVA but will go anywhere this event is held within 1 hour

3. Are you more or less likely to attend if we did it the weekend of one of the Chantilly shows? If so, would you be more likely to attend after the show closes or during the day while the show is going on). Chantilly is a 3 day event For me it really depends on the weekend, LOL. I'm 30 minutes from Chantilly so there's no reason to prefer it be at the same time

Alternatively - is there a time of year that is better than others if not done the same weekend as a Chantilly show? Not really. Weekend dependent

4. Any preference for a smaller hotel conference room, restaurant, or private office (the preference is to use a smaller hotel conference room) Private office or Hotel. Not a restaurant if possible

5. Would your decision to attend be impacted if there was a nominal door charge ($5-$10)? Nope as long as the costs are going toward the costs of the event

6. Would you prefer the focus stay on prewar, or just baseball, or open it up to a more broad range of collectors? Note- I am pretty sure that anything after 1979 will be strictly outlawed and YouTubing will be grounds for dismissal. I'm a football guy. Would probably come regardless as I appreciate cards from all sports but having a few other football guys would be nice. I can help wrangle them in if you want as well
