What are you Looking For at The National?

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.

If I ever go - it be nice fine looking women especially those in workout spandex leggings
All you guys show is chunky ones shoveling food into mouths

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!

Excellent. This is what will help booth holders target additional things to bring with us. Keep the list growing but NOTE that most of us already are bringing the rarest of the rare -- its not going to sell itself unless we bring it. But keep your wants coming.

Also I just returned from a concert trip that helped me get close to where I picked up 10 more unopened wax packs from my connection -- if they make it to the show, I will have 2 unopened National Chicle packs, two 1940 Playball packs, a 1941 Playball pack with 2 cards, three 1934-6 Diamond Stars packs, two 1952 Topps packs, and so much more to list. I will list all of my 1930s and 1940s packs in advance of the show and will have them all in one showcase. Check them out -- Booth 800 8 booths in yhe main entrance.

Have an attractive female sitting at my booth would be a no brainer. Less she knows about cards the better.

I actually don't have a focus when I go into Nationals which makes the discovery of cards so much more enjoyable.
