2025 National: a Buyer's or Seller's National?

[Snapolit1]

As primarily a vintage memorabilia collector at this point, I have not see very much of interest at past nationals. Photos, tickets, etc. largely priced somewhere between stupid and delusional.

Autographs as well.

The 2009 show was a buyer's show. Or as close to it as you are ever going to see. I hope; I am 110% happy to not have another financial crisis like that ever again.

Steve, I remain the eternal optimist. If I find one special item for my PC at a show, it is a great day. Regardless, the hunt itself sure beats the snot out of working, doing chores, etc.

This is an actual National find:

That’s cool. Nice Jackie.

It just seems that most dealers specialize in cards and if they do have memorabilia don’t recall have a clue how to price it. Or it’s all aspirational. Nothing wrong with that if you find the right buyer who will cover your travel expenses in one fell swoop.
