Hey Joe, great pick-ups!
Did you notice any early turn of the century hockey items?
By the way, I hope all is well with you these days.

What's everyone's best pick up?

Just made our way home from the show today after spending all day yesterday and few hours on Wednesday night strolling around and shopping.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable time and being able to share it with my Dad, brother, and a number of our hobby friends made it all the more special...that, and because it was here at home in NJ!

I did manage to score a nice c.1860s lemon peel base ball as well as a really cool H. Harwood and Sons sales receipt (with great graphics) from 1871 that reflected a purchase of $184 worth of specialty baseballs.

Additionally, I was able to move a few of the items I brought along for sale and trade and actually managed to come home with a few $$ more than I went down with...a perfect show!

I'm gonna get some pics of my acquisitions up before the end of the weekend. Till then, I'll enjoy reading about what everyone else pulled.

I was expecting more to show up as well. Walked the floor both Wed and Thurs. Picked up a couple of cards but this was my only memorabilia pickup. Overall, a good show but was a little disappointed.

Was surprised by the lack of vintage equipment. By the time I got there today a couple of the vintage guys had packet up and left

Went to my first National since 1988, the last time it was in AC, today. Wasn't expecting to go, but decided a couple days ago to do it.
Met a lot of nice people, some renewing old friendships and made some new ones as well. Was hoping to meet Rhys and Scott, but maybe next time. Finally met that Kriendler fellow along with Phil Napolitano. Ben was nowhere to be found(I think he was just avoiding my awesomeness).
Unfortunately, I didn't find a whole lot there to bring home. No signed 34 Goudeys that I needed and came away with a single Gehrig photo from Kevin Lewis(No. You cannot have any of my Gehrig photos.)
