[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1987666, member: 41863"]Let me explain it like this. Our show is the Morehead show for our club next weekend. RCR hosted the Jacksonville and New Bern NC shows, both a 30 minute drive from the MHC show, two weeks and four weeks prior to our show respectively. What that does is prevents the collectors from wanting to travel to those nearby shows. A lot of the target audience are elderly and are less inclined to drive a distance. When there were no options they came to our show in Morehead, now that RCR is hosting a show every weekend it's pulling from these larger type shows. Your experience, and my experience both suggest that these small shows by RCR aren't much worth the time. Not a lot of attendance and not a lot of selection. So collectors are getting short changed by not even realizing they are stuck basically dealing with 4-5 of the same dealers and it hurts the bigger shows spreading all the money and possible places to attend in such wide manner. In short it's just saturated down here with RCR shows and it's to the point now where it's hurting the hobby, not helping (other than RCRs business). Like I said, we discuss this monthly at our club meetings when talking about our show because we have seen a very real effect from this.
