I'd be happy to write one from a business point of view, but only if it's allowed here. Don't need to get reprimanded again for "advertising" when posting.

    Hiya Reed

    IMO, writing how you guys did or what the "buzz" is? Not spam.

    It was always busy there and the shelves seemed to clear off from Tues to Sat - I wasn't there Sunday.

    We did our rip which I'll be talking about - I'm sorry for not posting more - my computer practically died and was too slow to download pics.

    I did see one thing that pissed me off. While I was picking up a box of 85T to give to my friends to open at the bar on Sat nite, a guy came over ripped up a BBCEx flier and told Rick - this is what I think of BBCEx - I rarely get angry - but had to say to the guy how rude that was - Rick - was classy - he just told the guy to have a nice day or words to that effect.

    We've all been doing biz with Steve and crew for a long time - and there's NOT a better group of guys at the National - and that includes his sales assistants who stand there for hours on end - they were friendly and helpful when looking at stuff.

    That's my review.

    Looking forward to next year already - was disappointed - thought there would be a bigger crowd for the rip - next year?

    I think I will get a vote on which day? And have good suggestions on what you want to rip - price point would be great to know.

    Look forward to reading your recap of the National....I don't think that it is advertising and will provide us who didn't attend (and for those that did, too), some great insight.

    Geez, that was rude.

    Alright, I guess I'll do it! Any particular topics I should cover? Will work on this and post late tonight or tomorrow.

    I'm so tired that even though I got a good night of sleep, I still took a 90 minute nap this afternoon.

    A history of the 75 wax box would interest me. I know a board member here bought it.
    Where did you guys find it and are there anymore out there?

  • FrancartFrancart Posts: 335 ✭✭✭

    What was hot at the Natty?? Any specific players or sets in high demand??

  • SdubSdub Posts: 736 ✭✭✭

    I'd like to hear your take the endless stream of folks showing packs/boxes for Steve to certify. Half of which don't make it past the counter. Are the fudge-packers getting better?

    Also saw lots of raw sets come to the counter; some of which Steve let me take a look at. Did you guys buy that 18 pocket page '75 set? Wondering if at this stage in our hobby high end raw sets are gone.

    Anyone that knows Rick, knows he is such a nice guy and that was totally uncalled for. Not surprised Rick didn't take the bait.

    Reed, I would love to read a recap as well. What you thought about the crowd sizes, how sales were compared to previous Nationals, what cool unopened stuff walked in the door, etc.

    I'd appreciate knowing if there was a certain sport which the majority of people were buying cards from (I guess baseball is typically king, but...)...what couldn't you keep on the shelf or didn't have enough of, and what sat and got no interest? Looking forward to your recap as it will give us all a barometer of what the masses are clamoring for...

    p.s. Would like to hear what the oddest thing you saw over the weekend at the BBCE booth

    Write it up Reed!!! I want to hear this!

    Always looking for OPC "tape intact" baseball wax boxes, and 1984 OPC baseball PSA 10's for my set. Please PM or email me if you have any available.
  • VintagemanEdVintagemanEd Posts: 932 ✭✭✭

    The masses are ready and will be hanging on your every word! Literally! Lol...

  • KendallCatKendallCat Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭✭✭

    First of all thank you again BBCE for taking care of our group and always being helpful and accommodating with group rips along with being a great presence in the hobby - especially for unopened material. I think it would be interesting to hear about the following items/areas - some of which have already been mentioned:

    • story behind the 75 box
    • Top sellers/requested items by collectors
    • Where you see the future of unopened
    • Any great stories from the National from a buying/selling perspective

    Thank you.

    KC

  • 59Horsehide59Horsehide Posts: 427 ✭✭✭

    Maybe you could describe what a dealer goes through to prepare for and setup at the National? How many hours of prep, how many staff are involved, what happens after the event, etc. I have never attended but I really, really enjoy the videos, pics and write-ups that are posted.

  • curchcurch Posts: 590 ✭✭✭

    I think a review on “Vintage Wax and Packs” would be awesome @dmurphy3mvp. The Facebook group would love to read about it!

    Always looking for vintage wax boxes!

    If only there was a way that people that didn't want to read it didn't have to. :(
