2028 National Headed to Detroit or Atlanta?

[bigfanNY]

There was a time ( early 70's) when Detroit was the hub of the baseball card world. From a historic perspective Detroit is a great choice. Maybe give those that collect early hobby stuff a chance to display it. And is much cooler that Atlanta first week of August. Jmho..

As long as the AC is working inside, I don’t care if it’s 100 degrees in the parking lot.

Has anyone heard where the National Pre-War Sports Collectors Convention will be held in 2028 (and in earlier years)?

Outside of preference for proximity to location...interesting on some of these takes...maybe some of you actually haven't been to the downtowns of either lately...just got back from a conference in ATL...on the way down IMO...whereas DET has the casinos, stadiums and lakefront...and much better weather that time of year. That being said....I would guess the show would be in the burbs if it is in DET...probably Novi....which is in arguably the nicest county in the country and has a nice center similar to that of CHI nearby....and the traffic isn't a complete shitshow like ATL.

My bet is on Detroit. Dealers are creature of habit, and with many of them from the Midwest/Northeast, Detroit seems logical.

I would love Atlanta, I just don't think it is in the cards
