I think the simple, non-attack, rational point is, that there are others who have already been running shows on certain dates, or specific times of the year. Take "around the Superbowl" for example. Why does Rene have to take the same dates for his shows?

So he's got the mega show in Sept. That's great. Marketing, promotion, best wishes. Maybe it will attract new collectors and be a good show. Maybe the annual September show will become an event.

Why does he have to have more shows, in close proximity to other established shows, which only hurts the others? Isn't one enough?

Didn't someone want to have a show last year, at the same time as the convention?
