National in Baltimore

[Rich Klein]

I'd choose Friday Afternoon/Saturday; many dealers bail out after Saturday/Early Sunday and thus those are your two best days for pricing

I'd choose Wed/Thursday for selections and buying opportunites of tougher items

I am going to try and make my first National since '03.

Charm City can be pretty dangerous (remember the ninja Hopkins student this summer?), but there are some great areas too- Fells' Point, Hampden. I hope that the show is successful enough to bring it back to the north east once in a while.

And, congratulations, Scott!

In case anyone is interested, Orioles single game tickets went on sale the 23rd. There are home games every day of the National.

Rob G.,

I'm partial to going to the National Show on Thursday (as early in the day as possible) inorder to have the best opportunity to see (purchase ???) everything that is available. I suspose Wednesday evening would be even better, but I haven't done that yet.

I realize the trade off for having the opportunity to consider purchasing more quality items is the premium price that one must pay. But given how few some of the items on my want list have been available for purchase, I'd much rather have the opportunity to make that decision (to buy or not to buy at that high price) than to not have the opportunity at all.

But if it's bargains you seek, Saturday or Sunday must (surely) offer better opportunities.

Thanks, and good luck.

I agree with Rich. Wed/Thurs for selection. Fri/Sat for better prices.

Thanks for the recommendations! We just booked a room at the holiday inn for wed & thursday night and purchased tix to the orioles/angels game on thursday night! My wife and kids will be visiting museums and shopping with my money while I get to window shop at the National

What night is the net54 dinner?
