My preference is a later period of time. During 1990-1999, I consider this the heyday for both card shows and hobby shops. I enjoyed walking up the aisle of a baseball card show and spotting cards that I needed for my collection. I liked shooting the breeze with the local dealer about the Giants and the A's.

Also, I would get updated about the hobby from the dealers, I would find out about upcoming releases from the manufacturers.

Starting around 2000 there became too many card products to keep track of and the shows started disappearing because of the internet.
