How would you rate the current state of the trading card show experiences? From a attendee point of view, are you satisfied? From a vendor perspective, everything your looking for? If not, what changes should be made?

We are hearing rumblings that the current state of trading card shows may need to be evaluated by some. With more shows popping up every weekend all across the country, is that a positive or are too many shows becoming a negative.

Wouldn't you like to know exactly how many shows a promoter has put on or how many years of experience they have. Want to know the exact breakdown of sports cards versus TCG? Would knowing exact attendance by day for the last several of the promoter shows come in handy?

Trading card prices aren't fixed. They are discovered through buyer motivation and information. Despite flucuating values, we must never lose sight of why we all started collecting.
