I got my 62 topps football and 67 topps football completed today.
I only found two dealers with a RAW Ditka rookie (guy I bought from for $115 actually had 3 of them) in the entire room. And the same story for the 1967 topps football #59 unmarked checklist. One I bought for $40 and another for $75. |

A few notes.
-The box break area is Huge and active. -Panini was by far the busiest of the card manufacturers -Every dealer I purchased from was very friendly and dare I say even talkative best cutomer service I experienced at nationals I have attended. -One thing missing from VIP bags is a free deodorant sample. ..apparently many national attendees are unfamiliar with this product. |

Any of the younger crowd also hitting up lollapalooza too this weekend? Considering there's also a music festival in Chicago happening the same weekend makes me really regret not going.

Many, many thanks for uploading the video. Wish I could have seen the grade of that 1961-62 Topps Bobby Hull, one of my favorite cards. Regardless, nice camera work. Bravo. Thanks again. ---Brian Powell

If anyone is able to get me some of the Manny the Frenchie cards tomorrow at the Upper Deck booth that would be awesome. He is suppose to be there from 1pm - 3pm. My wife is begging me to find someone who can. So much so I'm very close to getting a Ty Cobb card out of the deal. Here's a picture.

Steven,
I'm confused...per your other post, I think of you had it your way, you'd be here to get one for her! ![]() "Post some of the rarer cards you see for those not able to make it or whose wife decided "it wasn't a good idea since we are building a house." (I'm not bitter at all I swear )" I'll set an alarm for myself and will try to find them tomorrow, although no guarantees. If I can, I hope you get that Cobb. Early reports from the National: very quiet, literally. I don't hear any of the cheering from the case breaks like I did in previous years, but maybe they haven't started yet. Also, I'm happy to report that it seems like most people showered before coming to the show today. Can't always count on that with this crowd. ![]() Cheers, Steve Quote:

I'm not "the younger crowd" any more but my wife and I saw Old Crow Medicine Show and Brandi Carlisle at Ravinia north of the city on Saturday, ( I live between Chicago and Milwaukee, about an hour away from the National). I did the show yesterday, while my wife shopped nearby. I should have posted something about the Cubs playing Milwaukee at Miller Park not too far away this weekend.
