I think the East Coast National moniker is misleading. The show sounds like it the same as Jim's other shows in Westchester, which are essentially what once were thought of as large local shows. They are good shows and he is indeed a good guy but they do not have the depth of material you see at EPSCC or, obviously the National. It is maybe a little better than the 2 big Hofstra shows but you get a lot of the same dealers and crowd at both locations.

It's more for the post WW2 crowd as well and in that vein it's above average in these parts. For pre war vintage it obviously is not as deep. What we need is a pre 1975 show like the one that used to be (Still is?) in Albany but on a larger scale. Bag the shiny stuff, eliminate dealers selling Webkinz, kill the Dan Marino autographed football plaques and you might have a shot at a deent show.
