Is anyone excited about the National?

Very excited.
I think there are folks who believe that if they keep complaining loud enough about AC it will fall off the slate somehow. Won’t happened.

Aside from the fact that NJ sellers and AHs have an oversized role in the hobby, AC is driveable for 1/3 of the nationals population. Let that sink in …..

Plus I could be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere the convention center gives the NSCC the room for free. Just to get people to fill the hotels.

I'm going with my son and both of us are excited - although we'd rather it was in Chicago.

My son and I started going to the National in the late 1990’s when he was 7 or 8. We’ve gone almost every year since then, and he’s 30 now. Each show has been a blast — and we’re psyched for Atlantic City — but we agree with the gentleman who prefers Chicago.

I'm probably not going this year. Like I've been saying for awhile now, the novelty of attending the National is over. It's really just a large social meetup nowadays. And, the ones on here who say you want to meet other Net54 members, that will really be difficult with so many people at the show, unless you arrange beforehand to meet.

I am very excited. First timer. I am staying 3 nights and leaving Saturday afternoon. I am getting a few autos, adding to my T206, hopefully selling/trading my red cobb, maybe ripping a few boxes, meeting some Net54ers.. I cant think of a better way to spend a few hours than walking around a massive card show and then playing blackjack when bored.

You know you're going to leave me with no one to say "How the Hell are you?"

Can't wait... have been looking forward to it for a long time. I was at the last National in AC in 2016 and had a great time.

My first time setting up independently so I am WAY excited. Please come by, say "hi" register for the auction and grab a T-shirt!

Well, AC is off the slate as the NSCC wants the event in Chicago every year. Not even interested in Cleveland or AC. Let that sink in.
