What are you Looking For at The National?

[Steve_NY]

Net 54:

Every year, everyone wants to know what sellers are bringing to the National. I thought I would turn it around this year and ask the collectors who are coming to the show to tell all of us booth holders what they are looking for. I bring maybe 2-3% of what I own, but it would help us all if you targeted our focus on things that you really are looking for.

Yes, I will probably still bring everything I plan on bringing, but I can make room to take other items as well.

Let us know, and booth holders will tell you to stop by if they have what you seek.

See you all in late July.

Booth 800
8 booths in the main entrance

P.S. -- Not a good idea, just say so. Regards, Steve

PSA 6 or ExMt+ non-slabbed Kaline RC. They have been pretty steady at $1100-$1300 for a couple years....last year I saw a 5.5 and a 6 I really liked...both were priced at $2K+...more than comps for 7's

[jethrod3]

I'll be looking for 1955, 1970 and 1971 Topps baseball commons and some stars in VG-EX to EX condition, and 1960 and 1961 Fleer Baseball Greats in Ex+/NM condition.

I have an SGC 5 that I was offered $1500 for. I said no.

If I was going, I would be looking for m113 & m114 posters. If anybody is bored and feels like sending me contact info for any dealers who have either or both, I would be forever grateful.

Have fun,
Doug

I can't make it this year. But on behalf of n54ers who can and might not see this thread. Bring rare stuff. Things that you have to tell people you don't even know what it's from or what it is. Looking at the same big name cards on every table is boring (to me). Bring photos, bring ephemera items. Stand out.

I second this. I like to see unusual sets that I may not have heard of that I can grab a card to work into my HOF collection.

Beyond that, my top targets are a N162 Brouthers and a Wajo portrait in a 3-4. I'm also looking for some Old Judge HOFers, a nice Charles Comiskey card, Clark Griffith and Ed Walsh T206s, and Scrapps Tobacco Deacon White and Ned Hanlon. I don't plan on buying all of those but that's what's on my radar. Plus, as mentioned above, hopefully I'll see something cool I didn't know existed and add it to the collection.

I'll be looking for N and T non sport cards...these have become very popular the last couple years with many collectors being priced out of the pre war baseball.

I'm passing on the National this year, because my aching knees would make walking the floor of the Show unpleasant. My want list is in my signatire line below.

You will need to pick a different hobby or convention. I'd suggest Expo-West... the largest Natural Foods Convention in the country. Plenty of eye candy there!

Apart of cards, I will be looking to replenish some of my hard to find supplies. Specifically looking for BCW sleeves and toploaders for odd sizes like 6x9 and 9x12. I know they make them but no local shops carry them here in Toronto and ordering online is cost prohibitive once shipping is factored in. Not sure if any dealers at the show will have these, so if anyone familiar with Cleveland knows if any of the local shops carry these it would be much appreciated!
