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!!

First National
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!

Question... What is the "Blue Line L"? If it's convenient, I may use it as well. Thx!

Did anyone Book at the Hyatt Rosemont? I just found out when I checked my booking that it has been rebranded as the Hyatt Centric Chicago O'Hare.
I booked last year online thru Booking.Com Now checking I called for some information and the hotel has a message saying it is closed and under renovation and opening in early 2025. Yet Booking.com and other websites still have it as available to book rooms. Tried calling booking and they sadly were not helpful and said they would send an email to the property(which again I advised I called) for an update and/or list of alternatives. Especially sucks because since I booked well in advance got an excellent rate and Booking so far sadly no help

Friday night....

I wish I was mistaken the place I chose was a mile away and is in process of being rebranded and is under construction. And if you call them at 847-518-1234 you will hear the message that states the Hyatt rosement Chicago O’hare and under construction as we rebrand to Hyatt Centric…. Will re-open in early 2025. So I am waiting to see what booking.com can provide or not and then if necessary I will book something else. Just frustrating no notice from anyone of any type so perhaps they open before but I do not know. But odd as they are taking reservations online that far out but on there website if you put in reservation dates early any day in early to mid June nothing is available. I think they are hoping to be open in late June/early July but not comfortable with it and their lack of communication

SOCO Event
For those going to the National that have an interest in Soccer and Emerging Sports there is another "show" going on after the SOCO hours... the primary focus is soccer cards... I think that there will be 180 tables (many of which are international), so it could be interesting for some people here. I will be there every night and may have a couple of negro league cards as well.
It is from 4-midnight every day from Thursday to Saturday night. IT IS FREE! More details are here: https://www.thesocoexpo.com/ Hope to see some of you there!

Apparently you need an additional green wristband to get into trade night . Wouldn't let me in without it. Apparently they were handing them out during the day
...but not that I saw. If anyone is getting together outside of trade nigh I'm certainly up for it.
