The WaJo piece is simply stunning and I believe per Joe T, it was signed at a charity event.
I was at both events this weekend. Fanatics Fest was cool if you are into sports. Cards, less-so. Not many card booths were set up, especially in vintage, though James had a great type 1 photo booth. What I was kind of surprised about was that you had to walk in and walk past a bunch of sports-related booths to get to the card section; if you were really interested in making it a card show (not even sure that was the case), wouldn't you want cards front and center? That being said, I got to meet Derek Jeter, so I am biased to say it was the best show ever.

The EC National was fine. Parking was a pain on Sunday but I arrived late so that is on me. Got to chat with a few board members which was nice. Some good cards and a good turnout. I can also cross off seeing a Reccius Wagner off my "seeing cards in real life that i can't afford bucket list".
