Live National Report Thread....

[ErikV]

I'm not at the National, but a board member whose at the show sent me an
email last night. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing. Here's a very small
excerpt from his email...

I t was only dealer set-up today but I'd would estimate I saw 60+% of the
inventory. Tomorrow is the day that will either dictate a good show or a waste
of time/effort.

Count of '14 CJ's I saw in the room - 3

Count of guys I either saw/heard, or was told, were looking for them - 8

I certainly could have missed them or was beaten to them. Bottom line,
there just aren't any and the words's out that they are red hot. Hopefully
tomorrow will be better for them.

I'm hoping to get another email from him tonite. A second board member
promised me he'd send me some photos too. If I get any additional, I'll
post.

Well, I am showing up Friday with about 5 of them that I will be looking to sell or trade!!

Maybe some attendees could post videos to youtube taken while walking the floor of the convention and show some up close pics of what's available. Someone did this last year and it was nice for those of us unable to attend to get a flavor of what was happening.

New SGC labels are here, they look great.

There are some deals to be had. Picked up a Clev Shop PC for a good price.

That's good to hear Jeff!! The other SGC labels were hideous, imho.

Any pics or videos from the National?

I never been to a card show before, and amazed what i saw in the video.

Hilarious!

Ask expected...there are lots of crazy, stupid dollar amounts attached to many of the items for sale in the former B-29 assembly plant.

Okay, so I watched the above video and I recognize there's a segment of the hobby I know nothing about. Who is breaking what? Why is there a whole section at the National of people breaking something? And is this a hobby thing, or a gambling one? Is it a new rage, and is it related to the other breaking thread we have going? Just looking for a little education, thank you, as I am out of the loop.
