Can we start talking about National, now?
 

Posted By: <b>tbob</b><p>I know it's still a little early but I would appreciate a little info on the Chicago National vis a vis Cubs tickets (are the Forum 54 Board guys going together and have someone to get tickets or do I need to start scraping around for tickets?), places the Forum 54 guys are staying and eating (will there be a get together meal, etc?) etc.<br />Any insight will be appreciated.<br />Bob

Posted By: <b>Glen V</b><p>Tickets already went on sale for the Cubs. I couldn't even get into the web-site. Pretty much all the tickets are sold for the Thu-Sat games during the National.<br /><br />Good time for airline tickets - prices seemed very low. LA to Chicago non-stop is currently $178 on American.

Posted By: <b>gary</b><p>is national really worth attending to buy cards ( ie. pre-war) ?<br /><br />i know the selection is probably better than Ebay, but are the prices inflated?<br /><br />i would like to attend just to see everything offered, but i would feel better about going if i knew there may be a deal or two...<br /><br />thanks, <br />gary

Posted By: <b>Robert</b><p>I assume that it is in Chicago but what are the dates and place? I have not been to a National for more then 25 years ago when it was held in Anaheim.<br /><br />RObert

Posted By: <b>Cap</b><p>Yeah, that Anaheim show was a total zoo. I think the National is well worth it. Even if you can't find anything, you can network, make some connections and talk to fellow collectors. <br /><br />It's in Rosemont, Illinois with hotels within walking distance of the convention center, Morton's Steak House, A killer Deep Dish Pizza Restaurant around the corner and Chicago is a great vacation destination. It's July 27-31 and all the info can be traced to the Official Site here:<br /><br />www.natlconv.com/index.shtml<br /><br />Cap<br><br>Well, I quit my job so I could work alone, Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes- Bob Dylan.
