The National

I may have the chance to go to The National in Cleveland this summer. If I can only go one day, what day would you suggest? (Reminder: the event begins Weds, July 27 and ends on Sunday, August 2)
Thanks, John

I think the Net54 dinner is set for Thursday night, so if you can only be in town one day, make it Thursday

Forget the dinner....Go for Wed 5 hr night. That has the best deals before many are made at the bar by other dealers...then stick around for thur morning when it opens for a few hours.....I live real close to that convention and that is the way to do it.

Wednesday is the sneak preview day, but I'm not sure how advantagous it is on that day. I think Sunday may not be worth it, since dealers head home early, although there may be some really great deals then. The Net54 Thursday night dinner is easily the highlight of the entire National experience. It is always great meeting other collectors & dealers from this message board. Plus, the price is right.
I usually make the trip a mini-vacation as I usually go to the show on both Thursday and Friday, but then go downtown to bars, nightclubs, and perhaps concerts in the evenings after the show.
