Improvements to the N'atl

I like where this idea is going. I would be willing to pay for said service, but only if it entitled me to first dibs on items. Knowing that 20 other collectors are going to be receiving the same "leads" as i do wouldn't be worth anything to me.

Something like a twitter feed with a hashtag would work. Dealers could pick out the hashtag and tweet back if they have a match. Biggest problem is dealer multitasking as it seems like one more thing for them to do and would raise the theft proabbility I think..

While this sounds well and good. Please remember most dealers are 50ish and only use a phone(regardless of it's capabilities) to send and receive calls. They are not tweeting or following instagram. For them to do what most suggest would involve reinventing the wheel for them. Myself included.

Some different locations. It is ridiculous to have Chicago, Cleveland,Baltimore and ocassionally Atlantic City. There are plenty of other great cities that are worthy of the National.

I like the idea of having one out west sometimes. Las Vegas would work. Then again, dealers wouldn't want buyers blowing all there money at the tables instead of buying cards.

On location Dentistry sounds good to me...no insurance accepted...payment in vintage cardboard only!

There's a cool app called "Group me" It works like text messages but with a group. The groups are private. If all the pre-war dealers/buyers joined say a "2013 National Pre-war collectors" group, then a buyer could send a text like "who's the guy with all the N321s?" Everyone will get the message, and the right dealer could respond. The down side would be that all buyers would get the message and another interested collector might be closer then you!

That is why you make one line....first come first serve...you snooze you lose.

If after 5 minutes you don't get a response from a dealer, you get to search for another card, no extra charge....so you basically go until you get a match!

Win-win
