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

I'm in the central Maryland Area. I would love to come and meet some members along with looking at their cards. Unfortunately I don't have any pre war to trade/mostly just Post War but would still like to come out and see everyone. Time and place don't matter to me/I'd come. Admission is fine with me.

I attended the earlier event Ryan hosted and it was great! It was great to see everyone, swap some cards and admire some awesome collections. My answers are below.

1. How far would you drive/travel to attend? 2 hours

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? Prefer NOVA (I'm in NOVA), but MD is good too.

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

Alternatively - is there a time of year that is better than others if not done the same weekend as a Chantilly show? Almost any weekend is good

4. Any preference for a smaller hotel conference room, restaurant, or private office (the preference is to use a smaller hotel conference room) small hotel conference room

5. Would your decision to attend be impacted if there was a nominal door charge ($5-$10)? Happy to pay my share

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. Prefer pre-1950
