It's interesting that you mention Program fairs because today, at a card show, I heard a rumor that there is going to be a "Ticket Convention" held at a place that is supposedly close to the same location in which our National Sports Collectors Convention will be held. Tickets have become more popular as memorabilia items over the past few years; I hope people catch on to programs and scorecards like they did with tickets. Then maybe we'll have more item-specific shows, or at least we'll have more people bringing more programs, scorecards and tickets to card shows!
