I'll be there all week at booth 529
I will have some incredible "card porn" for all to see! Stop by and say hello! Would love to attend a gathering of Net 54's.
David - wishing you the best and a speedy recovery!

Just wanted to say thanks for the kind comments about my situation. It's been a tough road so far and the future promises more of the same. The friendship and the aloha of my "baseball buddies" has been a great help in keeping my keel upright. I am grateful every day. Maybe someday I'll be able to bring off a trip to a card show or maybe a spring training meet-up. 'Til then . .
Phil: I'm truly sorry to learn of your mother's condition. It's devastating to watch the lights go out slowly on a loved one you knew as vibrant and lively. I would add courage and faith to your list, the courage to endure and the faith that things will go as well as they can. I took Jeannette to a care home last winter when I couldn't manage anymore. I can't praise her caregivers enough for their cheerfulness and kindness. I hope your Mom is getting good care.

I'll be there Wednesday PM to Saturday. Going to Nationals Thursday and Friday. I'm staying near Rivers Casino Des Plaines which is 5 minutes from Donald Stephens. Open to meeting for dinner anywhere in Rosemont or the casino. You can always catch an Uber with me to Nationals if you're staying near the casino. As of now, none of the hotels in that area offer a shuttle. Looking forward to another fun Nationals.

If you guys are planning a big meet-up, hold it somewhere that has a 'Dollar Menu.'
You're meant to waste your money on cards, not foodstuffs!!

Just booked my hotel and excited to attend my first National. I'll be at the show Thursday and Friday. Also looking forward to attending a game at Wrigley.
Open to any advice from those who have attended the show before. Thanks!

I will be attending the National for the first time since the 1991 Anaheim fiasco. I stood in line from 7 AM until after 1 PM. The lame Upper Deck promos with Looney Tunes and baseball stars attracted a new breed of flippers, who couldn’t care less about cards. I have attended over 25 San Diego Comic Conventions, many New York Comic Cons, Wizard Chicago in Rosemont, but never experienced anything like the 1991 disaster. The crowds were so unruly that Kareem Abdul Jabbar cancelled his autograph session.
Flying in Friday and leaving Monday. I will be staying at the O’Hare Hilton and can take the Blue Line L to the Rosemont stop and walk over to the convention. Will be seeing a friend in Buffalo Grove, but do hope to meet some board members. Have a great time and happy collecting!
