My video walk-through of the 2021 National

Excellent, sir. Looks like perhaps it was on a San Diego Comic Con size. Really get a feel for what it was like.

The funniest part of this video is as I'm watching young people looking through cards at a table, I'm thinking, "Yup, that's like me and my buds digging though stuff!!" But a moment later I see a bunch of balding old guys cluelessly wandering around and realize, "Actually, THAT is me and my buds these days," as a single tear slowly runs down my cheek.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for! I've never been to the National before and now I feel so satisfied after watching this whole video!

It looks like hockey made up about less than one-percent at the show and that's surprising considering the US has twenty-five NHL teams! Furthermore, the National was held in Chicago and the Hawks' have won three cups recently, and so I would've thought that hockey interest over there would be higher, but it doesn't look like it (based on your video!)

I did laugh out loud at 13:05 - women don't like to be recorded, especially while they are eating! And yes, I can totally understand why it was hard to take your camera off her!

30:49 was funny too. I have one more question and I will let you get back to your customers ... umm ... geez I forgot ...

And finally, the Gordie Howe game-used jersey at 54:00 was amazing! It would be insane to own something like that!

Thanks again!

Thank you for doing this and posting. Other than the Mantle and Mays at Heritage's booth, I didn't see a lot of signed vintage, unless I missed something. Is that normal for the National?

I’m sure there was some but I just didn’t focus on any of it. I ended up picking up a modern card (2011) and the signed 52 Mantle was a must in having to include it in the video. I saw two signed in fact at the show. But off the top of my head, I don’t recall any signed vintage - but I’m sure some tables did have.
