yes and yes
 

It is in the ORION room (same as before), at the Sheraton, and very easy to find. There will be 14 round tables that will seat 10 ea. The speakers and I will be at the front table and everyone can just spread out and sit where you want to, other than that. There will be complimentary parking so if you drive there, and it looks like you have to pay, come see me and I will get it worked out where it will be free for you (a stamp or something, I guess)...regards

Regrets for this year...

Hopefully next year, I will be able to make it.

roger that
 

OK Leon, will do, thanks

Hi Leon,I would like to attend.Thank You. Lou DelPinto

who will be speaking at the National?

I hope Josh Evans of Lelands will speak again this year, but instead of speaking, he just let us ask him questions. That went really well last year. I hope to have some really good questions to ask.:D

Can' make this year, but Baltimore is already in my sights. I hope you all have a great time and enjoy the company of people who truly get what this is all about. With all the negativity and greed we see in this hobby on a daily basis, take the time and try to enjoy what should be the true meaning, a get together of hobby we all love!! I have learned so much on this board as a novice collector. I don't think I would have made it without all the information it provides (even if everyone doesn't agree all the time.) Hope to meet you all next year. ENJOY!!!

Tim

Frank and son will attend.

last call for RSVP's
 

Right now we have a bit over 130 RSVP's and 10-15 more coming after dinner.....This is last call for RSVP's.....Later today I will turn in a final number.....

So will this be the largest turnout ever at a net54 dinner ? http://vbbc.forumotion.com/users/17/...les/136179.gif

What's the deal again on parking?

Lol
 

Let me check and get back with you on that....

Yes, this is probably the largest turnout yet.....Free food and drinks makes it around the circuit pretty quick

Happy to attend! (as Spike Glidden) Thanks for doing the leg work.

Dinner
 

Leon ...I posted above that I am coming with a collector friend....his name is Noel Emerling....Thanks again, Marty Kohler

Hey Leon,

If it's OK for newbies to stop in and visit...put me down for 4 (bringing family).

Chris,
Are you that dealer from Jacksonville that has a table at the National ?

You mean there are dealers in Jacksonville?!

They haven't been able to get a good card show here since about 2003. And even then, there was more NASCAR/NFL stuff than baseball and vintage is considered 1981.

No, I'm simply a collector who's attending the show and visiting with buddies. If there were a seller from Jacksonville, I'd guess it would be this guy named Dan (I have run into him on the show floor a few times in other years).

Hey Alan, let's try to have a chat in Cleveland. My wife and daughter are Jewish and maybe the little girl will like to hear how there really are great Jewish baseball players from someone other than her old man. I shouldn't be too hard to spot...a guy covering up a balding head with an OBC cap.

one more
 

Leon,
If it is not too late, put me down for one. Thanks.

Hey Chris,

Would love to meet you & your family in Cleveland !!!
BTW - I love Jacksonville !!!

We're not actually from Jax, we've just lived there for a while.

The wife and I are both native New Yorkers. Just like half the people it seems living in Florida.

Chris,
Have a safe trip. See you in Cleveland. http://vbbc.forumotion.com/users/17/...les/136179.gif

me too
 

If it's not too late,
