Everyone in this thread is confirmed. ONLY if you sent an email or PM will you get a confirmation. It's all about me making sure I got your message, and if it's in this thread, I got it. For the record there are as many folks that emailed as posted in this thread. There is almost no doubt this will be the largest turnout ever.

[Jcfowler6]

Leon,

Will you have t-shirts at the National? Or are those all gone?

YES....I will be selling all sizes for $15 at our table, 1112P, first come first served ....Not positive if we will be set up on Wed but we will definitely be Thurs, Fri, Sat and maybe Sunday morning.....

[Leon]

I just turned in the guest list.....160 for dinner and 200 in total.. see everyone there....LL

[brightair]

Hi Leon,
I replied to your private email but perhaps this is better.
I would love to attend for dinner (or snacks, whatever) and soft drinks/water.
I look forward to any informative speakers.
Many thanks for putting this together, wonderful idea!
All the best,
Richard D

[Leon]

Just so everyone knows I had to turn in the Dinner guest count today, as my last post stated. There can be no more dinner rsvp's but after dinner drinks are still fine.

[Leon]

Just a heads up....I have had quite a few members say they would like to come over after whatever else they are doing that evening. I would love to see everyone there. That being said my main concern is to take care of folks that make the dinner a priority. There will most likely be a cash bar started around 11pm. We should be good and toasted by then .

[Jewish-collector]

I would think many of those members that want to come over to the Net54 event are coming after the Legendary Auction. I would bet the auction house might prefer you do the cash bar BEFORE the auction instead of after it.

[judgebuck]

Hi. I just sent you an email, but I also wanted to post this to say that I am honored to attend your National function and to put me down for dinner and drinks. My username is judgebuck. Thanks. judgebuck

[egbeachley]

I missed the cutoff and was finally able to make plans to get to Baltimore. If there any cancellations I would like to attend - just myself.

Thanks.

If there are cancellations I will let folks know. I am going by a members number of posts for the openings that become available. In other words, if you have 5 posts and someone else has 300, and there becomes an opening, the person that posts more on this board gets the spot. I will have the RSVP list at the National and will be checking names to make sure everyone that responded and got an RSVP has a spot. I am looking forward to it. best regards

[Collect Equity]

I'm bumping this on Leon's behalf so that everyone can be reminded of the time location of the dinner.

[christopher.herman]

Just wanted to say thanks to Leon for his hospitality tonight at the Net54 event. My wife tolerated the baseball card conversations for waaaay longer than I expected (thanks to the free booze). Looking forward to the National tomorrow. Thanks again.
Christopher.

[Scott Garner]

Leon,
I would also like to say thanks to Leon for organizing the net54 dinner.

I had a great time hanging with everyone. It's great getting a chance to pair up a face with a name. Even though I'm more of a memoribilia guy, I had an excellent time talking with several of the card specialists.

I definately had a great time talking with you all. Good collecting to all!

Scott Garner

[tribefan]

Also would like to thank Leon for hosting a great evening, and to the sponsors and speakers as well.

[kcohen]

Leon - I forgot to RSVP. Is it too late to get a seat?

Thanks, Buddy. Best part of the National and the speakers were excellent.

[mark evans]

Thanks, Leon, for a delightful evening.

Thanks to Heritage and the speakers as well.

[4815162342]

Great speakers, great food, great times all around! Thanks Leon, Heritage, and all of the other sponsors!

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Enjoyed the dinner and meeting who I did, but I am amazed at how many I did not meet that were attending. A suggestion for next year, Leon, how about everyone introducing themselves? I know it will take a little time but I think most everyone would enjoy at least putting a name to a face even though they may not be able to talk to them or make a point of talking to someone you have wanted to meet.

Always a good time and did get to put many names to faces and meeting again with others I had not seen since Chicago in 2004.

Seriously Lee? We aren't talking 20 people in a room. We are talking 200ish. That is why the name tags were being worn. And as of a "next year" it is never a given for the dinner. We'll just have to see how next year is going and see if I can underwrite it and get sponsorship again. Even though Heritage helped out a lot, and there was an anonymous sponsor that helped too....there is still a several thousand dollar tab at the end of the night. So, we'll see. But as far as everyone introducing themselves. I dunno if that will work.

[judgebuck]

Leon, I got there very late because I had been at the Legendary auction. I missed the dinner, mainly because I tried to sign up too late last week. I appreciated your hospitality when I introduced myself. You encouraged me to post more, and I plan to do so. Thanks again. judgebuck

[Tim Kindler]

Leon, everyone I met, and the great guys at our table,
Thanks so much for an awesome evening of talking baseball and cards. It was my 2nd dinner and I was more comfortable and got to know others better this year. I hope to converse with many of the people that I met throughout the year. Everyone was very friendly and interesting. Thanks to Leon , heritage, the speakers, and anyone else who helped put this on. I hope it continues because I feel it is the best part of the national and I've been to 11 now.
Take care everyone,
Tim Kindler
