Question about the National

Additionally, if one is filling raw sets from the mid fifties to late sixties, in ex/emt condition, are the prices higher than the typical $1-$3 on ebay etc. just BECAUSE it's the National or about the same??

thanks for feedback bill

if you go not expecting anything then you will not be disappointed. I have had mixed luck on finding cards but have always had a great time otherwise.....For those that like the social aspects of the hobby (most everyone on the board) it is a good time...regards

Bill (& those of you who haven't made up your mind on going) -

GO TO THE NATIONAL !!! You will have a fantastic time, regardless of how much or how little you find. I can't stress enough how enjoyable the show is, especially the social aspects of the hobby.

I agree with Alan. I've bought very little at the National over the years but, if you like cards (hello?), you'll feel like a kid in the ultimate candy store. And, socializing with the Net54 crowd, especially the dinner, is an added bonus.
