one week until Nationals in Rosemont

[HOF Yankees]

finally a card show I can pick up vintage off my want lists. My first nationals ever I cant wait to get there, going to be a great experience. anyone else going to pick up want list stuff?

i might go after psa yankees pre 73, yankees memorabilia, elvis stuff and tobacco cards and any singles from major sets.

It's definitely going to be an awesome time...this will be my fourth time experiencing the National and it definitely lives up to expectations.

This year will be my first year going for more than one day...two days this time around and I'm really looking forward to it. Me and a few buddies and wives are making the trip from Ohio and are ecstatic. This weekend we are going over each of our want list and making sure we have a somewhat clear plan. The National is very overwhelming and it can literally take one full day or two to really appreciate and soak in all of what there is to offer.

I collect T206's and Mantles mainly, but will be looking to add a few obscure backs to my collection...I think a Carolina Brights back is something I'm going to pursue heavily at the show. Thing is, your plan may change when you walk through the door....

Hey Chris,

I'll write those two down and keep an eye out for them...I'll be mainly looking for 206's anyway, so maybe I'll see 'em there.

My wife knows that the night before I go to the National is like Christmas Eve when you were a kid. I have trouble falling asleep because I can't wait for the next day to get here. I live in between Chicago and Cleveland, so each time it is at one of those two places, I get up at 5 am on one of the days, usually Saturday or Friday, and make the 3-4 hour drive to either place. It feels like my Christmas day as a kid. Thankfully, my Christmas Holidays have a much deeper, spiritual, and family meaning now, but I think you get what I mean. No matter what the adults said, Christmas when you are a kid was about getting, not giving

Really looking forward to my first Net 54 dinner and my 9th National!

I'm really looking forward to my 5th straight National and 7th overall. And, really glad the Net54 dinner is back on this year as it is one of the most enjoyable parts of the entire National weekend experience. Unlike previous years where I only went on Thurs & Fri, I plan to be at this National all the days, except Sunday.

I'm a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to be the buzz & excitement on this and other message boards for this National as there was for previous Nationals a few days before it gets going. Perhaps that some collectors that went last year to Baltimore are not going this year, since it's not on the east coast. Hopefully, attendance will be good.
