I will be there either Saturday or Sunday. Not sure which day yet.

[KrenBats]

I plan on being there Wednesday and Thursday.

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

I'll be there!!

I'm in all week. Lets talk boxing cards! Copies of my book will be at LOTG's booth; buy one and I will write all over it.

[Huysmans]

I know most who are attending will have their hands full, but I figure it can't hurt to ask...

If anyone sees ANY nice turn-of-the-century hockey items... Wool sweaters, sticks, pucks, photos, etc. I would love to hear from you, and I would obviously pay a finders fee for helping locate any good items. Just DM me.

Thanks in advance!
Enjoy the show!!

I stopped by and talked to Adam for a few minutes...and picked up a copy of his book. I don't even do boxing cards, but it's a great book and will be a really interesting read.

Cheers,

The most enjoyable moments of the National for me were the conversations I had with fellow collectors.

They ranged in age from 25 to 80.

It was fun conversing with collectors who remembered the 1960's Yankees teams.

Many of them were trying to convince me to go to the National in Chicago next year (which I am seriously considering).

It was cool watching the signers interact with their fans.

I had a nice conversation with Steve Grad and short and cordial conversation with Spence.

It was simply a wonderful and memorable experience.

Not me, missing second straight year after making 10 in a row prior, including three years ago when my son was born just one month prior.

Not going this year. This will be only the 4th or 5th National I have missed since 1982. AC is not a place for kids and it's a challenging place to fly. I went the last time it was in AC and I must admit I got some great deals as the attendance from what I remember was not that good. Hopefully, it works out well for the dealers.

I'll be there with Kevin Keating at booths 1901-1905 with some really fine Walter stuff from my collection and the estate.

Answer me Jewishcollector haha Are you going this year I hope? The national is certainly not complete without you.

I can't wait. This year will be different but will still be filled with stories!

[vintagesportflips]

I'll be set up at booth 352 with a wide assortment of sports memorabilia including equipment, pennants, photos, nodders, and much more.
I'll also be searching the floor for any neat early Eagles or Frankford Yellowjackets pieces.

REA will be set up for the first time in booths 661/760. We have plans to bring a number of memorabilia highlights to the show already, including some great display pieces and autographs, but if you'll be at the show and are looking for certain types of items, shoot me an email, and I'll try to bring things from the auction that will be of specific interest to members.

That's great! I Will definitely swing over.

This will be my first National.

I will be there on Friday morning and afternoon.

I am debating as to whether to purchase a General Admission ticket or VIP ticket.
