DJI have TONS of respect for SELF MADE millionaires. And barely NONE at all for those who had there wealth handed to them on a silver platter. WHY? because they DID NOT earn there wealth.

Again, we're talking about collecting and again you bring up $$$$. There are a lot of people here that are happy to win a T206 in horrible collection for $8 just to own one and have made a nice small collection of cards that are 100 years old. You don't have to be a millionaire to collect. When I was twelve years old, I couldn't afford a Willie Mays rookie but I worked all summer and bought a nice example for $100.
You have wealthy people reading this all the way to shoe string budgets. It doesn't matter. When you berade people and tell them that everything is junk unless it's worth something, well that collides with what this Forum is all about.

Back to the topic at hand:
The East Coast National is worth going depending on how far away you live. I don't think I would fly to the event from another State. I would wait until late September for the Ft. Washington Show. Signing autographs at that show? Sal Bando and Ken Griffey Sr. (hope I didn't open up a can of 'those guys suck'). The ECN tends to bring forth too much "new", not enough "old". There is a dealer list on the link of who will be showing up to the ECN.
