Anyone aware of vintage space antique shows or memorabilia shows around the country?

I'm not so much looking for space flown artifacts or autographs but more things like toys, trading cards, games; etc. I'm a regular on eBay but wanted to find out if I'm regularly missing shows or events. Any help on the matter is much appreciated. Thanks!

The Air Force Space and Missile Museum hosts an annual Space Collectibles Show & Sale at its Sands Space History Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. This year's event was on Aug. 10, 2019.

The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation's Space Rendezvous generally includes dealers offering vintage space memorabilia. This year's event was canceled due to the Apollo 11 50th anniversary activities but the show is expected to return in 2020 (at a location to be announced).

Novaspace Galleries' annual Spacefest in Tucson, Arizona also attracts space memorabilia dealers offering different types of collectibles.

Beyond that, there are sometimes one-off shows and events, but none are currently scheduled (at least of which I am aware).

Thank you Robert! Appreciate the info.

Spacefest I can check off the list. For astronaut autographs and art, it is great.

I'll keep the event in Fla. on the radar, so to speak. Thanks again!
