Saturday at the National

[Brent G.]

First-time CGC/JSA submission. Dropped these off first thing Wednesday, got the text last night that they were done. Gotta say I really like the slab and service.

It’s my go to for service over PSA

Had these in storage for 30 years hoping this moment would come…

Even on Saturday, it’s been pretty easy to get around … except upstairs, where the spacing between rows makes NO sense.

I’ve seen a lot of young kids who look beat headed to the exits — freeing up space all around.

Had an incredible week — hope everyone who made the trip can say the same. There really is no other experience like it.

same routine for us today that we’ve followed all week. I’m inside the show right at 9 and walked the aisles looking at cards all day. I did take a Starbucks break 1/2 way through the show though. I should have brought a bigger suitcase as it is going to be a challenge getting all this stuff in a carry-on and a backpack. It didn’t seem crowded today, although I didn’t go to the upstairs where the aisles are narrow. Back at the Air B&B for an hour before our collecting club OBC meets for its annual swap session. Flight out of ORD 6PM so looks like another 1/2 day at the show bright and early.

Yes, it's busy and ginormous but oh is it fantastic!

So I was in line at the VIP entrance at 730am and by 830 there was a LOT of people behind. They opened the doors for us 30 mins early. That was great for us, but some of dealers were still selecting their tables when for next year. But 90 mins of relative calm on the floor was great.


I started off at Steve_NYs booth and he helped my find a 56ToppsPin that i need and helpednme look through loads of boxes of Sweet Cap Pins. I'm now.down to 14 pins to complete the master set. Then I made.a bee line to JD Heckathon and picked up a load of cards.for my set builds plus a few Star-Cals that I needed.

Throughout the day, I picked up.an assortment of everything from 1914 Cracker Jack, 1934 Diamond Matchbooks, 56T pins, 59T, 54 Bowman and more

Like Brent, I was a first time CGC submitter. The service was quick and the slabs look great but they weren't able to grade my T200 nor my Sanella Ruth because they didn't have any slabs thst were big enough with them.

[Brent G.]

How’d you feel about the grades, Gary, pretty spot on? I think I’ll go to them whenever I have a chance in-show from now on.

Great work out there!

I thought a couple of the grades were a bit harsh. I plan to post them for opinions when I get home and I can scan them properly. But overall, pretty good. I think the slabs look really nice.
