Should I go to the National Show or the Hall of Fame?

You can only go to the HOF if 75% or greater of the replies agree.

Go to the National.

No brainer; go to the National.

I have gone to the Hall of Fame on several occasions, by myself, and I truly enjoyed the solitary experience. I will be returning to the Hall of Fame again, I am sure, but probably not until I have kids. I want to be able to experience the Hall with a family, rather than on my own again.

I'll probably have to attend the National on my own because I don't personally know anyone else who would want to spend that much time looking at sportscards with me.

If you are a seriuous collector, the National. If you are more of a serious baseball fan that also enjoys cards, could go either way and maybe try alternating years between the two.

It's been a long time since I've been to the National. It was in Los Angeles (where I live) in the early nineties sometime. A great experience.

Never been to the HOF though. I guess you'd have to decide if you want to look at stuff, or if you want to buy stuff.

I haven't been to a National yet but Cooperstown is not to be missed. It's in a beautiful hamlet with just a spectacular setting.
