I just got back, went for 2 days. I found a guy selling non sports cards with 2 Recruit boxes with the tax seals still on them ($12 each) and an empty Old Judge box with inner sleeve for $100 among other things. I found a collection of near mint T207's and bought all 28 cards for a little over $10 each, as well as a tin type with a black or cuban manager from about 1890. |

I came put with some pretty nice cards. It wasn't that crowded but as said before most of the tables were a little high priced. The prices on some peoples t206's were way to high but overall may dad and I walked out with 22 hall of famers including a a Christy Mathewsom dark cap. Leon's table was very impressive and his Four Base Hits Mike Kelly was awesome along with his Peck and Snyder. I paid my respect to the 8 Wagners at Mastros and the PSA 8 one at PSA's both. So all in all it was a good time and I thought well worth the money and I am already looking forward to going next year to the ntional in Chicago. |

I went to the National with a few friends and we had a great time. Was looking for T206's, but only got a couple. Thought cards for the most part were overpriced. I collect only SGC graded, and unfortunately most of the T206's that I saw were 80% PSA. When I buy PSA and get them crossed over to SGC they usually come back with a lower grade, so I try to stay away from PSA. I am currently at 98% complete with SGC. |

Sounds like a couple of you made major finds, like at some hole-in-the-wall place where someone's setting up for the first time! For $1000 a table--not bloody likely! |

If this show isn't what it used to be, it was still pretty terrific. I was trying to plug holes in some T-card sets and was very happy to get 10 Ramlys and several tough T207's, as well as a couple of T222's. |

I posted this query in another thread but this seems to be the best place to get it answered: I was wondering if the interest in T207 cards and E cards in general, and particularly E94s and E97s which are on fire on ebay, translated to higher prices at the National? It appears from other comments that T207s were moving briskly, at least the scarce back ones and that the great interest in E cards on ebay is reflected by their scarcity at the Show. Just wondering what the prices were vis a vis ebay and if interest in them appeared strong... |

Thanks to Scott and Leon for the pass to the show and to Pete for coordinating the dinner. Both the dinner and the show were terrific fun notwithstanding that I didn't buy a thing (due to the narrow scope of my ethnic quest and general frugality). Looking forward to Chicago. Mark |
