Net54 Card show?

[AndyG09]

I know there are more of us here in metro Detroit and around the state. I would be all for a lunch/dinner gathering. Ann Arbor would be a great place to gather as it is decently located. I think it could be a great time. Board members in Northern Ohio would have decently easy access to a gathering in AA too. There really aren't any decent shows worth gathering at around here anymore, but we could find a nice restaurant. Thoughts?

Best,

Andy:
Ann Arbor is a pretty good spot. My main idea was bring your cards for sale/trade and others to show like previously mentioned, and meet some folks. AA seems pretty logical as w/in 2 hrs you have Cleveland, Detroit, Jackson, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Toledo...Roll the day on a saturday maybe after the weather starts to turn? Maybe soemone from AA could suggest a spot?

We'll have to see who is interested and put together a date and time.

Leon, should we start are own thread on this? Not sure how to go about putting together a board member gathering.

Hi Andy
If you want to start a thread concerning it I think it would be great. As for a Net54baseball show I just don't know if there would be enough interest to offset the costs associated. I think the regional get togethers, whether at a show or independently, make the most fiscal sense. No one is out too much and a great time will be had by all. However, I am always open to discussing anything that can help collectors and the hobby. best regards

Well Ive had a few responses from this already and really think if the folks from Cleveland, Toledo and N Ohio are interested this could actually have a few folks. My original idea was hoping for 20 but i think it could be better. Like I said before, if you know the other people are from the board and we all love these funny looking pieces of cardboard, there should be a lot to see and chat about and possibly make a annual/semi annual thing?

Guys...........This is a fantastic idea!! My wife said she would stay as far away as possible.....and jokingly asked what costume I'm going to wear to the party (I had to remind her it's not Comic-con). On a serious note, this would be awesome and I would definitely attend. Let's do it.

Hi Gents,

I'm in the AA area and think this is a great idea. What spots I would recommend would depend on how many 54'rs would be attend. There are plenty of great restuarants. If we want to bring cards etc for show/sale it makes sense to have a separate room from the peasants who don't understand the greatness of our hobby.
