2018 National Dealers Roll Call

[Johnny630]

I’m sure all sellers take proper precautions but just encase I hope all dealers will be watching their material and not get distracted for this years National. It’s saddens me to hear from a few dealers this past weekend that several dealers had stuff stolen off their tables, it’s terrible but this happens. Please be aware that thief’s like this usually work in teams using diversion/distraction techniques. Please look out for each other and report to security or police if you see or catch a crook.

Cleveland is not as bad as Chicago for thieves except when the gangs of thieves from Chicago come down for their fun. I've seen them in Cleveland, but they are based in Chicago. You are correct, they work in teams and I've lost some stuff. The more eyes you have on your inventory the better. Never leave it unattended and don't assume that all the vendors are above lifting stuff, because they are not.

Hi Everyone,

I will be at the National in Cleveland but I won't have a table. As always, though, I will be wearing my San Francisco Giants cap and buying, selling, trading, and picking up consignments for my auctions at
www.AllSportsAuctions.com
I have attended all the Nationals since 1980 but a handful.

I also will be looking to add to my collection of pre-1930 Pacific Coast League and California League baseball items, as well as, anything pre-1945 Pro basketball. I am also looking for game used jerseys from all pro sports that are pre-1972 for my collection. What do you have? I will also trade. I have an extensive collection of all facets of the hobby, and having been active in it since 1973 know where to get whatever you collect.

Please don't hesitate to say hello and introduce yourself, anytime. I am semi-retired now but just as active as always in the hobby.

Thank you, Andy Sandler andy@allsportsauctions.com
