About a 12 hour drive for me from Central FL. Have passed each time I had a chance to set up there recently. New sites mentioned thus far would be 10-12 hour drive so really makes little to no difference to me. Those who live right there and are complaining about the traffic, be grateful that you live in the northeast where every big show drive is easily made the same day. You’ve got Philly, White Plains, Shriners, Hofstra, Chantilly, when the National was in Cleveland. Nationals in Chicago are a bit tougher but try 19 hours from Central FL before you start complaining. Closest significant vintage show down here is Chantilly at 12 hours right now.

According to Trade Card Database there are over 100 shows between now and the end of the year in Florida alone, some have to have vintage. If not be the only guy there with it, you will sell much more than being a small fish in a big pond at a huge show.

Sad news. Just what we need, another IKEA retail store replacing a great venue to host card and antique shows. A shame!

Richmond's advantage, such as it is, is that the airport is just down the road. You wouldn't want to ferry talent from, say, Fredericksburg to Dulles.

That might be so if the admission cost wasn’t so high.

Hank:

Philly is 14.5 hours, even longer. Just flew there last weekend to buy but can't set up there that way. Can't get a spot anyway, waiting list is too long.

Y'all are getting me excited about the show moving to RVA. I grew up going to the Tuff Stuff shows.

Right, Phil, I didn't know you were looking to set up. Long trip either way.

Long drive for Chantilly. How about Philly?
