Greg, that's exactly what I told Steve he has to contend with. Of
course as someone who has been doing shows since 1968 and has not had
a moment in between that I wasn't selling collectibles, I have seen
first-hand the transformation from shows & mail order catalogs to
internet buying. I also told Steve he needs to find ways to get
younger people in the door to continue the hobby because all of us
are getting old or at least "older" and that bodes ill for the
future of the show
maybe we'll see you again sometime

For me it is probably two-fold...just older now and wrapped up in
business and stuff that makes it difficult to get away, but also
with the Internet it is easy to look at things rather than the
hassle of traveling out. I did buy some things in the auction
online. I have to say the show seemed pretty interesting based on
the photos I saw - much better than the Hollywood Collector's show,
which I haven't attended for 5 years even though it would only take
me 25 min. to get there.
Some of it too I suppose is I'm not as interested in pawing through
stacks of posters as I once did....you just see so many posters now
online that it makes it a little less thrilling to go to a show....

Yes, thanks for the pics...it was fun to see some of the old
timers, and I even made inquiries about two posters I saw in your
photos that might be good for me....I used to attend in the 90s but
haven't for about 15 years anyway....

I want to contribute my report as well. Will do so in the next day
or so. In the meantime, I created a facebook page for Majestic with
a photo album for Cinevent 2010, where you may view many of the
folks here in all their splendid glory:
