Atlantic City

[CharleyBrown]

Planning on heading down there tomorrow morning for the day. What is the parking situation like? It looks like Park Whiz has some places for $20 for the day that are a little under a half mile to the convention center.

How does that compare to the rates at the convention center?

Did not go to the sneak peak, but when my brother and I drove by, parking sign read $15

I'll be staying at the Sheraton for a night (Thursday) and I thought parking would have been free at the Sheraton, but they charge $15.00 for self-parking.

I'll walk around Thursday night and then go back Friday morning to get Ron Blomberg's autograph and hopefully meet some online friends that I've never met in person.

Having a great time in Atlantic City !!!

Anyone at the national is welcome to join us for dinner on Friday, Aug 5th at Wingcraft Kitchen & Beer Bar. We will be there soon after the show ends at around 6:30 pm - 7 pm. Just ask for the Net54 collectors group if you don't see/know someone from Net54.

Parking at the center (garage is directly under the convention floor) is $15 / day.

My first national. Had a good time. Nothing to compare it to. Here are some general reactions.
- not much high end stuff; e.g., little Gehrig and Ruth
- a ton of football cards. Stunned me. Not my interest.
- some good sellers of vintage photos
- dealers weren't negotiating much. For example, best a guy could do on a $1500 card was $1475. Whatever. I will look for it on eBay.
- many very friendly sellers. Some great talks. All the major AHs had their upcoming items
- was generally well run and comfortable
- saw a lot of 52 Mantles, not surprisingly
- tons of tobacco cards. I don't collect them
- Pannini (?) and some of the other new card company had a great energy with breaks and whatnot. Lots of young kids. Lots of screaming.
- PSA had long lines. I wasn't waiting an hour plus. Went to SGC and was helped immediately. Was very pleased with the rarer card I got graded on site in 2 hours ($50)

Anyone see Negro League material at the show? It seemed that the past several years that I attended, only Ryan C. and maybe the AH's had anything significant, and theirs wasn't for sale, just previews for viewing.
