Thanks!

This Friday will be the last day for RSVPs. I think we will be in the 150 person to 200 person range again. I just spoke with catering and we are getting all set. If you liked the last 3-4 yrs, and the way it's gone, you will be well accustomed to it and will like this year. If you didn't like those years, and the way things went, you won't like this year either. It will be very similar with the food, speakers, alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks etc. I will also do an update thread for the Dinner next week to give some more details. And the last of the speakers to sign on is Bob Freedman, of SimpleAuction, speaking a little about technology where the hobby is concerned. Don't worry either, it won't be any "technical nerdy" talk. I look forward to seeing everyone there.

I just joined the board yesterday and wanted to say hello. My name is Bob Shoudt and I have been attending the National for about 20 years. I usually attend with my son and it is something that we look forward to each year. We collect anything that looks good at the time with interests in Frank Thomas, Julio Franco and Track and Field athletes from all time periods. We love to see the older cards and items at shows and always end up getting something that we had no idea we wanted before.

Leon generously invited us to the dinner. I accepted and promised that I would eat like a normal person. As a professional competitive eater I sometimes feel like I should put that out there.

Looking forward to the show and getting to meet some new people.

My wife and I will be there dinner and soda.

Competitive eater, Bob? Nice work if you can get it. I'm strictly an amateur compulsive overeater. Here's one for you:

It is a lot of fun that is for sure. I love to eat and I love getting paid to eat.

That is a great card that you posted. I will have to keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the tip!
