Patrick McMenemyTBob, I went the first day. Entered the show at 11:00.
Although I don't collect 19th century material, the show was lean according to those that do collect 19th century material. Heard one gentleman mention that he had picked up 4 nice Mayos. Terry Knouse had his usual nice selection of both 19th and 20th century items. The show had a nice selection of T206s, both graded and raw, and an even better selection of T205s. Scott B. had an enormous selection of T204 Ramlys. M116s could also be seen on a regular basis along with T3s, T201s, and T202s. The sets that I was very surprised by the low volume of examples included: B18s, BF2s, S74s, all E-cards, and T213s. I was looking for T213s and saw ZERO. Modest selection of Obaks. With regards to rare items, I saw 3 E125s, a complete set of E90-2s, and 2 D322s. Hope this gives you a better idea of the selection to be had at this year's National.
