I have built much of my collection via the internet through dealers and auctions I know without attending many in-person events searching out game used items. Back before I started GU collecting I attended a few National Shows and there seemed to be quite a bit available. I am curious as to how valuable other board members feel conventions/sports shows are for building your collection. IAny reccomendations about the best ones (other than the National) that you should not miss?

I was thinking of attending the Collectors Showcase show in Virginia that is coming up in a few weeks and wanted to see if any of the members had been in the past and get their thoughts on the amount of GU items at the show. Thanks in advance for your input.
