Really? I've been to a half-dozen Nationals and never taken a photo.

The show today was crowded. I finally figured out the huge floor is pseudo broken into two parts. Newish stuff on one side and vintage stuff on the other. I don't know if that was on purpose. But that's how I found it. I wasted a lot of time in the newish section before realizing.

The vintage guys are all near the front because they've done a lot of Nationals and have priority in picking tables.

Each is own with photo’s or not photo’s. Some of us who never been to Nationals loves the members sharing their experience and we are hopeful some have photo’s to help better visualize it.

So no harm meant in asking

Thanks

I totally agree: no harm in asking.

The response to when someone said he doesn't take photos at the National was it is "weird" is what prompted my post.

Reading comprehension Bill. I said his response was weird. He seemed offended he was asked for pictures. That is a weird reaction. As if it's a crazy idea.

Well, the card guys have no trouble posting photos. Other collector forums and Youtube videos are showing a plethora of cards at the National.... but I still haven't seen diddlysquat in the way of vintage memorabilia.

Judging from the numerous videos and photos I've seen so far... the floor space seems to be allocated to 60% cards, 20% auction houses, 10% TPGs, 5% new "manufactured" memorabilia, 3% supplies and maybe 2% vintage memorabilia.

Don’t think I’ll ever bother with another National. My one and only was Anaheim (1994?).
