I'd love to attend this next one.

I expect to park in the lot on site Saturday. parking was only 20-30 I think last time

I tried. Arrived around 10:30 and lot was full.

I am supposed to be there but I am probably going to cancel. I messed up my ankle pretty badly and I am not sure I am physically capable of the move-in and move-out.

Will your ankle also prevent you (because flying cross country is hard when your ankle is mssed up) from flying to the East Coast for Fanatics Fest and the ECN?

Nope. The stuff I tore affects my lateral movement. I am worried about my ability to move the 200#+ of stuff I bring as well as my ability to stand behind a table all day.

Getting old sucks! Healing takes a little longer... I'd bring a tall stool or chair so I wouldn't have to stand all day, but I guess I probably don't understand the dynamics of being a seller and probably having to be on your feet all day.


Someone said the Burbank card show is like a West Coast National. Any truth to that rumor? I'd have a difficult time believing that.

For hoopla and crowd turnout, yup but the amount of vintage there is extremely limited, like most CA shows. Maybe most shows in general but I do not get to shows in other states. I made the mistake of driving out to both their Anaheim and Ontario shows and will NEVER do it again. Better prices and better selection in almost any online auction.
