O/T The Texas Show - Sports Card & Memorabilia show - Frisco TX, Apr. 26,27,28, 2019

Leon:

The person who noted the show is Easter/Good Friday weekend is right. That has always been a terrible weekend for shows. Kyle currently is the 3rd Saturday of the month in Frisco and since that is the day in between, that is the best option for that weekend.

If I were doing April, I'd run either the 1st weekend or the final weekend of the month. The 2nd weekend is close to IRS day and we've discussed the 3rd weekend.

I think you would do fine with the big show, but look a tad more carefully at the dates

Leon,

If you could find a second reason for people to come to Dallas, you could get a nice gathering outside of locals.

I would try to fly in if I could get my buddy Jerry (gabrinus) to drive down for whatever show.

Jerry, you listening?

You could also look for corresponding events on websites like this to find reasons for people to make a weekend of it:

I'd love to see the Mavericks play.

leon is right (again). just like collectors continuing to do business with auction houses and ebay sellers who they pretty much know are corrupt, it's all about the stuff. if the show is good with good autograph guests (assuming there will be some at such a big show) and top notch dealers people will come. that location seems like a good choice because of the high population around it and i don't see easter as being a problem.

Thanks for the feedback so far, gentlemen. It's appreciated. Kyle and I are still in heavy discussions about it.

It would bring me out of retirement. Will be good to see everyone again.

Third weekend also see the Astros in town to face the Rangers! May be a draw?

Not that it’s a surprise but I’m a local and would attend. I’ll also attend any show wheee I can catch up with Matt!

Steve, I plan on flying my Gabrinus Inc. chopper down to Dallas for that...I used to have a flyer for a Vietnamese strip club in Dallas...see if I can find it...that could be fun....Jerry

Make it happen. I am tired of driving to other cities for major shows.

I would be interested in doing the show if it fits my schedule. I'm sure if you do three I would be available for one at least.
