The ANA show and FUN (never been, only read reports) are quite bigger but Central States is easier to maneuver. It is big enough to offer a good selection (although it can fall short in the world/ancient departments) and at the same time small enough to see most tables in a single day. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>They used to move it around to other Midwest states (this was before I first attended) but attendance was often lower and it was less convenient.
