Phone # (609) ; info@classic-corner.com ; Web-site: The National Sports Collectors Convention returning to Baltimore in 2012: The consensus during the 2010 Baltimore National was that we should return to Baltimore real soon. In a stunning, turn-of-events, that included paying Cleveland (the original site of 2012 National) a non-refundable fee, a deal was worked out where the National would return to Baltimore in Once a tentative agreement was reached, National Exhibitors were mailed a special ballot. Resoundingly, they voted to send the 33 rd National back to the City by The Chesapeake Bay in In return, The I-X Center in Cleveland has agreed to host the 2014 & 2018 Nationals, respectively. The status quo would be as follows: 2011 National Chicago; 2012 National Baltimore; 2013 National Chicago and 2014 National Cleveland. Hope that 2011 is a healthy & prosperous year for one and all.
