1991 - If I remember correctly, a dealer (I think from Baltimore area) got heisted, real bad. In today's value, the theft (of baseball cards) probably would have been the largest I'd be able to recall.
Only 5 Nationals on the west coast and none since 2006. I get it, it's a long haul for the dealers that probably have the best material, but it's almost been 20 years. Most of the Nationals I've been to have been middle America.
I've been fortunate enough to make a few east coast shows (not nationals) that could rival a national.
One of my collecting buddies that I used to hang with at a few nationals passed away a while ago so it's not been as much fun. I keep telling myself to get to another one, maybe next year (as Lucy pulls the football away, again).
