ANYONE GO TO THE NATIONAL TODAY?

Just got in from my trip to the Atlantic City National. Although the drive from Cape Cod to Atlantic City and back is not something I would ever conceive of doing again, I'm happy to be home safe and sound. Glad I avoided going through NYC, especially after I learned there was a horrific fatal tractor trailer wreck on the George Washington Bridge.

Other than the drive, the trip was a very memorable. Was really nice to finally meet many of the board members face-to-face. "A cast of characters" to say the least. Regret I bailed early before the diner, but I was out on my feet. Sold off many of my duplicates. Traded for an awesome Roger Bresnahan Novelty Cutlery Postcard as well as a EX+ Chief Meyers (Fielding) T206, and came home with over $300.00 in my pocket. Unfortunately, I didn't see any inexpensive 1956 Topps for Ben. Saw just expensively priced HOFers from that Topps set. Did find a T222 that Fatima Bill needed...Can't wait to hear if anything else turned up after the first day of the show.
