I will be attending the National for the first time since the 1991 Anaheim fiasco. I stood in line from 7 AM until after 1 PM. The lame Upper Deck promos with Looney Tunes and baseball stars attracted a new breed of flippers, who couldn’t care less about cards. I have attended over 25 San Diego Comic Conventions, many New York Comic Cons, Wizard Chicago in Rosemont, but never experienced anything like the 1991 disaster. The crowds were so unruly that Kareem Abdul Jabbar cancelled his autograph session.
Flying in Friday and leaving Monday. I will be staying at the O’Hare Hilton and can take the Blue Line L to the Rosemont stop and walk over to the convention. Will be seeing a friend in Buffalo Grove, but do hope to meet some board members. Have a great time and happy collecting!
