I agree and have said the same for years....
Too many of these shows are nothing more than family reunions. How do you expect new blood to come into the hobby if a new collector shows up and no one's home? Our's is a hobby with lots of nice people, the sad truth is when it comes to many of the big shows, the only way you find this out is if you can afford to ditch work and make the time to fit the vendors schedules. Wake up and smell the potential!
