I certainly will Adrian, really excited to get smoe autographs and see some amazing items. We went to old Yankee Stadium a few years ago because I HAD to see the place where all the greats played, was an amazing experience.

I am in the same boat.....


I remember my dad and I going to Collingswood auction in New Jersey as a kid.....He bought me a complete set of 82' Topps that my mom gave us money for the boys that day...I was always into collecting cards before that, but those days were so memorable to me..We would go on Saturday's and Id buy the 80's baseball crap......well, as you know those cards are really not worth much now, but I still have that 82 Topps set and it is priceless to me

I lost Dad to a massive heartattack in 1993 when I was in college(we were fighting at the time).......

As you know I LOVE my T206 Scrap/Freaks and rarities, but ID GIVE THEM ALL UP to have dad back, even the '82 Topps set....or just to tell him I loved him



enjoy the show with your dad and cherish every moment, trust me

I've never worn those, but they don't look like they would be comfortable for 8 hours or so.

If you search The National on here I'm sure you'll find some great "survival" tips plus I'm sure some more information will pop up on the forums or any questions you may have will be happily answered.

Enjoy your 1st National! I'll bet it becomes a good addiction. I remember my 1st one in 1981...my mom let me attend a few days. I still remember a couple of cool Brooks Robinson oddball purchases and was even on the Detroit evening news looking through pages of cards. The show has come a long way since then!

I think last year there were some people wearing what I learned were called "skorts" (or something like that?). Do I have that right? Maybe someone has a picture of "skorts"?

Sincerely, Clayton

P.S. Have a blast at the National !!!
