No scientific data to back this up, but I've always felt PA, NY and MA were strong for baseball and card collecting.

I live in western Canada, but over the past 25 years probably 80% of my dealings (purchases, sales, trades) are with Americans. I'd like to give a shout out to the beautiful Pacific Northwest — especially the Seattle and Portland areas — for being particularly friendly for collectors of boxing and hockey memorabilia. Now if Seattle could just land an NHL franchise ...

Hey Murr,
I am somewhat partial to the PNW, as well. Right now Seattle is working on regaining our professional basketball team, but I wouldn't mind a NHL hockey team in our future either. There is still a strong cohort of collectors in the Seattle/Portland area. In fact, I believe the longest continuously running baseball card show in the country is held in the Seattle area (39 years and counting)!

Ive lived in the mid-atlantic, the south, and now the midwest. The midwest area is very strong compared to where i lived previously based on local shows and quality shops.
The focus here is very heavy on the cardinals, cubs, etc from the 30s to 70s and the prices are strong, which is fine with me as i collect pre war t and e cards but it is cool to be in such a strong collecting area.

I would like to chime in with the others who mentioned the Pacific Northwest. I live in Shoreline (just to the north of Seattle), which is the home of the Washington State Sports Collectors Association card shows. I'm sure there are other regions with more activity, but the WSSCA shows are very special. There is a solid core of vintage collectors, and it's a really friendly bunch of people.
The next show is fast approaching - Nov. 3 & 4 at the Meridian Park School.
