We are extremely pleased to say that we were personally invited to attend and exhibit at this show. We are already working on some very special plans to make this a fun and memorable experience for all attendees. We will keep everyone posted with any news we receive about the show itself and will also post more information about The Trading Card Museum's plans as it develops. Hope to see everyone at this show!

Tilford · 11-05-2009, 10:03 AM

Joey, that is great! I'm sure this will be a good thing for you, Sir Shadow and the Museum and Non-Sport collecting as a whole.

I'm guessing this is a new show and must have some names behind it that I and others would recognize. Anxious to learn more!

I'll put it on my calendar and hopefully can attend.

Mike.

RhondaHavlock · 11-05-2009, 11:13 AM

Sounds like it's going to be an exciting event.

This has been posted on NSU I am pretty sure a little while ago, but it seems to be developing quickly now. Ron Vastola invited us to participate and I finally got the chance to spend some time with him on the phone yesterday. Great guy, very open to ideas and very much on the same wavelength we are. We are really looking forward to this one and given the time to prepare we hope to really put on a great exhibit. It's a fairly short show time wise, 10-3, so orchestrating things should be easier and more streamlined. There area already some names filling in behind the show and they are really hoping this puts a boost in the NonSport community as a whole. We will certainly keep you posted on developments from this end. Maybe you could even attend the show with us

Joey

RhondaHavlock · 11-05-2009, 05:59 PM

I've seen them posting about this in many places online so it will be really interesting and exciting to see who will be at the show, especially from an artists standpoint.

Tilford · 11-09-2009, 06:38 PM

Glad to see Rhonda added to the list too (or was it already there and I missed it?)....

Mike

This show is looking better and better. Great artists. Great vendors, and lots of my collecting friends are going, so I definitely plan on being there.

I also like it because it is just a single day event. Drive up, attend, and go home....

Mike.

a tap on the shoulder would work just as well.

We'll miss you for sure. Hopefully we'll get to meet you at a convention sooner or later.

ErikTheArchitect · 02-22-2010, 09:24 PM

720 miles one way. And the 20th is my anniversary. Don't think I can convince my wife!
