Everyone can rsvp for the Banquet up until this Thursday in this thread. All are welcome and there is no limit.

*Please don't give me a hard time about wearing a name tag with your first and last name while there. Everyone including myself will have one...Plus I have a phobia about remembering names so it helps me if no one else. Just ask Brockelman how long I introduced myself to him after we knew each other. It was years....
Hope to see all that can make it come by, at least for a while. It will be fun putting faces with names with user id's..

The Convention is in AC next year and there won't be a Net54 banquet there as I most likely won't be attending. I doubt I go back to AC again for a National.....

Good to meet you Leon and some other members. Had a nice time. But for the life of me, I don't remember who the other speakers were....outside of Josh??

Thanks Leon for organizing the Net54 Banquet it did not disappoint! Thanks to Heritage Auctions and Love of the Game for their support.

There seemed to be more food this year and I thought the pizza was pretty good! There were even some more healthy choices available. At my table I sat with some Post football and baseball experts it was fantastic experience all around.

The speakers Mark A his stories were great and I stopped by his table the next day but he did not have his Ernie Banks card in hand so I could see it.

The comedian (Adam correct?) was HILARIOUS this was the first time I've ever seen stand up live. Knowing something about his subject matter (cards and collecting and scandals) really helped, no topics seemed to be off base lol. He is great and hope he is invited back!

I enjoyed Josh E too, and after he spoke he opened it up for questions from Net54 members in attendance. I snapped Josh E picture from my seat I hope it is ok to post.

Thanks again Leon I'm really glad I went!

I just want to commend Josh Evans of Lelands for having the guts of getting up their and responding to some really tough questions from the crowd. He alone was worth the price of admission.

Josh had no obligation to get up on the mic.

It was much appreciated.

Are you the idiot who sued PSA for like 8K?

[CuriousGeorge]

$4800 excuse me. Lawyers who sue companies for $4800 shouldn’t be running their mouths. They should be trying to figure out how to pay the mortgage.

I too enjoyed meeting and listening to Josh. I believe what Adam was joking about was the irony of the statement as there was no "price of admission". The event was free. After watching Adam's stand up routine at the event and speaking with him at length (Hi Adam) I certainly get the feeling he isn't the sort to hide behind a keyboard.

EDIT:OK this is why you should read the whole thread before posting. What they said^

PS. Adam, are you doing stand up professionally? I did for a while a million years ago while I was acting. Wish I could've heard you!
