2010 National Pickups,Pics, and Post

[calvindog]

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.

Don't ever underestimate the importance of this!

Gotta ask...is the a show where the dealers are making reasonable deals (like Houston / Atlanta) or is it a show that is more like a museum (Atlantic City comes to mind).

I am not talking about the top shelf stuff...just the mid-range stuff like T206 low to mid grade commons and exish 50s and 60s stuff. Pretty much the collector grade cards.

While all you guys were out wasting time at the national, I managed to snag this sweet 1933 card of "Skippy praying" off eBay.

I forgot my USB cable for my camera. I have the iphone but not the pics I want to show. I got 3 wagners (2 I am holding) a 1909 206 plank and a 206 plank no ink, a boston garter joe jax and much more.

For those who don't know, the Boston Garter is the one that depicts a young Joe Jackson sipping a cup of coffee and exchanging pleasantries with a spirited waitress named Brittney.

I would hope someone made it to third base with Brittney.

So you are saying C.C. Sabathia made it to the show?
