Annandale VA or Gettysburg PA (1 Viewer)

[Alexander the Great]

If you would recommend one of these two shows which one would it be?
I have not attended any and curious as to which one is the better show...

In my opinion, they're roughly equivalent, in terms of the number of vendors. And you'll probably see many of the same vendors at each one.

Prost!

I’ve been to neither but you might consider attending the MFCA outside of Philadelphia. Not only do you see toy soldiers but you get too see some incredible creations by gifted sculptors and painters.

And as a bonus, Gettysburg and MFCA are on the same weekend this year, April 17th and 18th, then the 19th and they are roughly an hour and a half or so apart.

And yes, you will get many of the same vendors at Annandale and Gettysburg; that said, the venue at Gettyburg is somewhat larger than Annanadale, so there are more vendors at Gettysburg.

Yeah, I think the promoters try to sync scheduling with our show when they can.

Prost!

If you are close enough to do both, I would. Also they are far enough apart that you may see different things. I know on my table you will! Anyhow, there is a good bit of crossover in vendors, but you will have some different ones. The variety is always unpredictable and you will be seeing a lot of stuff not on line, in other words, it is simply not a show containing every new release currently available, you will see that but also a lot of vintage items across the spectrum.

As a collector and seller, I like all shows and do as many as I can.
