Card shows are on the way back, I think. There is nothing like having collectors together to buy-sell-trade-BS cards. I certainly missed that and wanted to revive it. The issue is that it is a hell of a lot of work and upfront money to run one. I would not do it myself. We [Anthony Nex, Jason Miller and me] plan to hold our third Southern California show on May 3rd. We are searching for a new venue, though, because the one we used for the first two shows, while terrific, was just too expensive for us to keep free admission and a table price point where we wanted it for the day. The alternative venues we are looking at are priced to allow us to keep the show running for as long as the current dealer and collector base wants it.
