National Updates???

Going to the National is not my cup of tea, but thanks for the invite.

Yes, spelling on the board is awful, but I gave up being the spelling cop...for the most part.

Maybe JP can get back his job in the mortgage industry??? And from what I have been told he is pretty good at doing laundry. So I am sure he will be fine with his skills should the hobby implode.

I know some collectors weren't thrilled about being filmed while talking about cards or life in general but many of us really enjoyed it. It may still be on you tube, not sure.

I believe it was David McD aka Kawika aka Peter Chao ... you know, the guy who likes to take pictures of scantily-clad authentic dutch penguins!

I wish Barry would go to the National one year. I think he would really enjoy it. Maybe if it comes to Brooklyn, he might have to show up.
