What will be the major "find" at the Atlantic City National

Jewish-collector · #1 06-21-2016, 09:39 AM

On a serious note, I really don't think this will be a good show for sellers. The 2003 Atlantic City National was horrible for sellers. Why will this National be any different ? Many of the west coast collectors are not going, so it basically it will be a larger version of the "East Coast" White Plains show.

Not sure its worth going.

I go several times a year usually with a decent amount of cash and have had a total of zero problems. It is like any city and is not the wild west like some here seem to be making it.

I live in New Jersey, so Atlantic City is always my favorite location, but I'm not sure how people are getting to the event. The AC airport isn't nearly the hub as O'Hare nor is the convention center going to command the same sort of foot traffic that Baltimore does (though more than Chicago). It will be interesting to see. We're currently in a popular time in the hobby - outside collectors are clearly investing in high end rookie cards and there is a lot of bargains to be had at the lower end. I'll be there this year and very much looking forward to it.

So, it sounds like aside the "news" from the Atlantic City National will be piqued by a potential truckload of 1988 Donruss (perhaps a Devon White PSA 10), little Johnny riding his bike from Absecon Heights with his grandpa's 1955 Topps commons or maybe just a few racket-boys coming in off the promenade looking to knock some heads.

My guess is that there will be something of significance and fresh to the hobby that ends up being graded by an attendee.

I don't know about "major", but the most shocking find will be that Johnny V is actually very quiet and reserved in person.
