2017 National Dealer's roll call

[Leon]

During the National this thread will probably be pinned to the top for everyone's use while there. The Net54baseball banquet will probably be pinned for a few days preceding that event too. As most know stickies (pinned threads) are not often used on this forum but sometimes they make sense and can help. I will try to make it by and say hi to all folks setting up and posting in this thread too. That could be kind of fun since I won't be setting up this year (though I might have a few things on display}.

The Chicago Nationals always attracts a large crowd! We will be set up in our usual location....in Booths 161, 163, 260 and 262. I recently acquired a collection which included 15,000 cards from the 40s, 50s, 60s and early 70s. We are restocked with 18 boxes of cards in numerical order (by year) to save the time of those trying to complete sets. Also, at least at the beginning of the show, there will be a number of sets. Stop by to at least say hello! Mention this post a receive a 10% discount on individual cards and a 5% discount on sets!

See you soon!

P.S. There are "new to me" T206s.

I won't be at the show, but have an important suggestion for this thread...

Does the National have a map to hand out (like they do at amusement parks), pointing out all of the attractions? If not, and for the sake of efficiency, why doesn't someone create a list here (in the very first post of a thread) in numerical order that vendors can add their names/specialties to. Say there are 200 booths. List out the numbers from 1 to 200 and then have people post where they are going to be. (Think about how set breakers list all the spots in their break and fill in the names over time as the slots are sold.) And it doesn't have to be just the vendors, per se. Not everyone taking part in the National is an active member here, so if someone knows what booths certain people will be in, they can add them to the list as well. With this sort of effort, people will have an incredibly handy, organized tool to refer to on their phones as they stumble around the 'Windy Convention' (patent pending).

Perhaps put it in a quick 5 row/column format:
1. Booth number(s)
2. Name of exhibitor/company
3. The exhibitor's speciality (what their main focus is)
4. The rest of their inventory (quick summary of other things they have available)
5. Other (quick thoughts, a personal note, 'specials,' etc.)
