2010 National Pickups,Pics, and Post

[slidekellyslide]

Looking forward to the pics Andrew...I don't think anyone posted a single pic from last years National on the card side (Carlton always does a fantastic job on the memorabilia side)...the year before that someone (Jerry S?) posted a ton of pics and videos.

Kind of OT, but I had a great time today at the Edgar Allan Poe memorial offering condolences.

I was unaware that he had passed. My prayers and condolences to any remaining relatives and anyone who even resembles him.

Do you have any pick-ups or pics from the Memorial?

I understand he was a very good writer, with exceptionally strong spelling skills. I think he and Barry would have hit it off in grand fashion...

congrats on the pickups, but given your lead in, I have to know,...did they include Brittany?

and a great thing to hear that you have made acquisitions on behalf of others...you're like a Net54 commando hit-man or something and some such! keep it up

We will be cruising up tomorrow! My son is coming off a week long hike on the Appalachian Trail, and we're hitting the road...hope he gets a chance to take a shower!

I've picked up some minor cards thus far. I haven't seen anything for sale which has blown me away and the prices for the most part are ridiculously high. Nicest card I saw for sale was a Rose PC Wagner in great shape (but overpriced by about 5K). Dan McKee has some incredible cards (including a J=K Wagner) but I was a little disappointed by both his table location (inside the Men's room) and his refusal to wear the Net 54 pin. SGC has Pat Preece's collection laid out and I'd say that it is the most impressive 19th century collection (or any other century) that I've ever seen.

Some of the nicest cards for sale are packaged as as full sets so you can't break them up and that drives me crazy.

All in all it's a bit overwhelming and my feet and back hurt but at least I'm not 100 lbs overweight and stuffed into a major league baseball jersey so I've got that going for me.

Just wondering . . . did he run into ex-Gov. Sanford?
