Introducing The National's New Management Team

Pulling up a map of the floor on your phone, with different areas clearly deliniated. Very 2005.

Bad logistics, bad bathrooms, bad food, bad air conditioning, bad venue, untrained staff? None of that is acceptable today, it's shameful that people are eating off the floor.

Too many people? Double the price of admission, incentivize the dealers that bring product to sell, plenty of ways to do that. Dump the museum display dealers and the tire kicking public, you don't need them.

Fer gawds sake, categorize the floor like auction houses do, no modern guy wants to wade through pre war, no pre war guy wants to look at 56 Jackies to get to a Plows Candy or Texas Tommy.

Im not a fan of fanatics but I'm curious to see their first show and their solutions to these problems.

This new National committee will need to figure out what they actually want the show to be going forward (ie more fan experience, more corporate or less, more dealers, trade nights, seminars, live auctions, etc,...). Of course, most on this forum will probably want just dealers selling vintage baseball cards & memorabilia.
