Fun report, thanks! Please translate for this old guy what it means to "level up" and also what are Downtown's? Seems I'm not only losing most of my cultural references and tastes to the sands of time, but now even the language is moving away from me! Glad you had such a great time.

Don't worry, Hank. You know I'm younger than you, and this verbiage is equally foreign to me. I have to say, I'm completely OK with being ignorant to some things.

Downtowns are the hot new insert set (case hit?) that all the cool kids are chasing. "Leveling up" would be to improve one's collection by buying more impressive cards.

Jeff thanks for beating me to this. Yes, I felt like I learned a bunch of current modern flipper lingo while hanging out for a while in the VIP lounge.

The younger collectors were just interested in my older Crawford Cards I had too...they asked a LOT of questions about what the sets were, when he played etc.

That was the real fun of the national for me. Meeting and talking with people. Picking up a couple of cards was just bonus.
