Thank you for the link! Very fun overview of the National. Take a look, you might see someone from the board.

Great video!

Cool video. Thanks for putting it together.

Well done, Lyman & Brett.

Couldn't attend this year so it was great to see what I missed. I should of went. Can't wait til next year.

Bruce, we're practically neighbors. (La Crescenta)

Very pleasantly surprised at how well the video was put together. Nice job, guys!

great video
 

That was a great video Lyman and Brett. Except for me looking like a spastic everyone looked like I remembered them.

And as a shameless plug for Brett. Brett does a great job doing videos at weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, divorces :), etc......He does it as a side business and as ya'll can tell it's very professionally done. GO OLDCARDBOARD!!!!!

Lyman, thanks for sharing the video, it was very entertaining. For those of us unable to make the show this year, I can only say, see you in Chicago in '11 :)

This is terrific. Thank you, guys.

Thank you so much for that. It was really fun to watch. Unfortunately, my boss walked in while I was watching it. I minimized it, but forgot that I was also streaming the PGA Championship :eek:. So I got busted with both. Anyway, thanks again for the video.

Also wanted to say that I am a new subscriber to the magazine this year and I love it! I highly recommend it to everyone in the hobby.

Video of National
 

Hi Guys. Brett and I just want to say thanks for all of the positive feedback on the video. It is gratifying to know that it is being enjoyed by those who could not make the show. Hope to see everyone next year in Chicago.

Lyman

Great video Lyman...thanks a lot!

btw I emailed you at some point last week when the National was going on so it may be buried in your inbox.

Lyman and Brett,

Well done. I can almost taste the overpriced food and just watching it made my feet hurt again!

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for including me. It was very well done. Haven't had this much fun at a National in years.

Great job on the video! Really enjoyed it.

Excellent video. I recognized many faces there. I was hoping to see myself in the background so that I had proof to show my wife on my whereabouts that weekend.

Easily solved. PSA or SGC can certify your presence at Nationals each year for the rest of your life. After that...well, I'm sure others will gladly do the same if the money's right.

maybe Brett can CGI you in there.

Jeff- you're in the video, and I learned that I've been pronouncing your name wrong. I thought it was a short "i", like "prisoner." But it's Prize-ner. Live and learn.

No problem Barry, you are not alone.

We may need an exemplar picture of you in profile to compare the ears though.:)

Jeff
 

Hey Jeff
We must have met at least 10 times and I never knew it was a long "I" either. You should have said something but I guess it's no big deal. I just learned someone elses name I had wrong yesterday too. I had introduced him to a half a dozen people, at the National, and clearly had his last name completely wrong. I blame it on old age!!

you're dead to me Leon.


actually people have been saying priz-ner instead of prize-ner since I was about 1 so kinda used to it.

Jeff- maybe they're pronouncing it correctly and you're not.:)

prizner
 

i made sure i learned how to pronounce it after i learned that you were
the fan craze king some years back.
after seeing the video, i was shocked that you were a young fellow.
but even barry sloate is younger than i am.

a great video with some great accents from Ted Z., Leon L., JimB, Bruce B. et al.

best,
barry

Barry- I turned 58 last week. Have I caught up to you yet?:)

barry s
 

we're the same age, buddy!!!!
for one more month :(

best,
barry

Mark my words...one day I will catch up and even pass you!:)

Barry S
 

only if you outlive me!!
and i'm guessing the odds are pretty good since you finally quit smoking those 'extra strong' 'lung killing'
piedmont,sovereign,cycle,uzit,broadleaf,sweet cap cigarettes you hoarded :)
all the best, ole friend

barry

But I still haven't kicked my Drum habit...:(

Be well!

be well
 

and you,too, fine sir.

best,
barry

Video of the Baltimore National
 

I just wanted to say thank you to oldcardboard.com for a great video, very well done and it was nice to see some familiar faces. I really enjoyed it!

Jimmy

Great video
 

Thanks for providing the great video for those of us who couldn't attend. My only complaint is that it wasn't an hour or two longer.

Great video, thanks for the effort!

- Mark

Video...
 

Awesome job on the video, it's nice to put a face to the name in our little community.

Jeff



I vote the National in San Diego!

Watched it and loved it, of course I'd expect nothing less from Brett & Lyman. Among many things, I liked Bill Cornell's crack on collecting "Ramlys, T222s, and everything Jay Miller wants" :). I only hope you are referring to N288s and the like. If it were OJs, I suspect you now call a cardboard box home :) All the best to all involved in making the video.

Great job on the video!
 

Thanks so much for putting together a top-notch production of the National! Hopefully this will turn into an annual tradition.

I'm issuing An Official Network54 Apology™ for my thoughtless crack about Jay... I didn't realize the camera was rolling. Actually, I caught him out of the corner of my eye when Brett started and couldn't resist. All your OJ's are safe, boys.

I still can't get over the guy with the paint-peeling Maryland accent at about the 20 minute mark (note: that's Dan Mckee, who started in the hobby around 1889). And they make fun of the way we talk in MA?


Bill

Sorry for dragging up an old post, but I really enjoyed the video & thought some of the newer members might too.

Thanks for bumping. Great video, Old Cardboard.

Mark

Very very cool and pretty enjoyable

excellent reprise
 

I want more :-)

Nice video. Interesting to see Doug Allen and John Rogers in there, pre-prison, with Rogers showing off the Conlon collection photos before he sold off a bunch of them.

it's personally sad to see people such as Ace Marchant, Bill McAvoy and Jim B who are no longer with us. I'm glad their memories are saved

I agree with you, Rich. That's why I thought this video should live on.

Baltimore National
 

The video was really well done; enjoyed viewing (again?). I don't recall watching it when it was put out years ago, likely did, but to me this was a great National and thanks for reviving...

Baltimore was a great venue. Sad that they will never consider it again for a National.

thx
 

thanks for sharing that cool recap!
