Set Registry Reception at National

BJ · May 1, 2003 11:52PM

Please mark your calendars! You all are invited to attend a PSA Set Registry reception held in your honor Saturday, July 26th from 6-8 pm in Atlantic City at the Sheraton. The suite number and other details will be announced in coming weeks. We hope to see everyone there.

12:30 pm - please see my second post below!

Thanks BJ. I was hoping that it would be earlier in the week, but I'll still try to make it.

BJ - I wish I could make it, but I'm leaving Friday afternoon. And I'll be staying at the Sheraton Weds & Thurs night. I appreciate the effort though. Hope all who attend have a great time...jay

I'll be back home from A.C. by then too.
Perhaps the Superior auctions would have been best held during the day, rather than eating up the 2 nights most of us will be there. For me, 7 hours on the floor is enough for one day, especially with casinos and other distractions (or attractions, depending on how you look at it).

Now your talking Murcerfan. Just stay an extra day. It will be good for you.

I too was planning on leaving by Saturday morning. But, I can understand that PSA doesn't want to overlap this event with the Superior auctions being held on Thursday and Friday night. I'll try to make it if I can.

RayBShotz · May 2, 2003 3:42AM

Yikes! I will honestly say, I am disappointed. I was planning on being there T & F also, and leaving Saturday morning. I have been anticipating this event for a year now. Saturday night is a real bummer. I'll try desperately to hang out for it but I have a 9 hour drive home! Hope to meet with everyone on the show floor and perhaps for seperate events T & F.

Thanks BJ for your efforts though and I will definitely stop by the booth.

JH · May 2, 2003 3:54AM

BJ - Thank you for putting this together. I am not sure yet if I will be able to attend or not, but I'm sure it will be fun.

BJ · May 2, 2003 4:19AM

We still may have time to change the date/time if need be, but Frank is right. We don't want to compete with Superior's auction. Assuming that there are no other conflicts, would a Friday luncheon serve your needs better and allow more members to attend?

Let me know your thoughts.

Skycap · May 2, 2003 4:19AM

BJ,

We all appreciate PSA hosting this reception. But, as with almost everyone else here, Saturday won't cut it for me either since I will have left town. The consensus on this thread seems to be that either Thursday or Friday would have worked out great! How about a lunchtime reception on one of those two days instead of an evening reception on Saturday (by which most of us will have left)? If it's not too late, perhaps the day/time can be changed. Any time on Thursday and Friday would be much better than Saturday. Maybe you can conduct a poll on the matter.

Thanks for you consideration.

Skycap,

Do you have ESP?

Skycap · May 2, 2003 4:27AM

Yes BJ, I have ESP for PSA!

....and I can now visualize your next addition to the Registry: The 20 Greatest Baseball Players with ESP.

I would be very interested in attending a Friday luncheon.

I just got to meet another Registry member today. Thank you, Davalillo, for a wonderful transaction!

ejguru · May 2, 2003 4:41AM

Still another leaving dawn Sat. Please try to arrange anything Friday or Thursday--any time.

dude · May 2, 2003 4:53AM

BJ,

Absolutely! I'm definitely game for a Friday luncheon! That would workout much better for me as opposed to Saturday night.

Skycap · May 2, 2003 4:57AM

BJ and fellow Registry members:

I have another suggestion we might want to consider here. I just looked at the schedule for the National Convention and noted that on both Thursday and Friday, the doors open at 11 a.m. for the general public (10 a.m. for VIP's). Rather than have a luncheon that would take up precious "shopping" time near the beginning of this bustling activity, how about a breakfast/morning reception that would take place from, say 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.? I believe Friday morning might be preferrable to Thursday since most of us will have one day of "stories" to tell and another big day ahead. What do you think?

NeilDowney · May 2, 2003 4:59AM

Hi BJ, I too have been waiting all year for this PSA event. However, my son and I will be attending with Ray Boehm and we will all be leaving on Saturday morning. A friday midday event would work out better for just about all of us on the registry. By Saturday night the show could be a ghost town with only the locals still in attendance. Hopfully a friday event could be worked out instead. Neil

rustywilly · May 2, 2003 5:52AM

A Friday luncheon would be great!!! Thanks BJ for all your work.

-Mark

M.S. - Did the Shuba arrive? Thanks again!

mikeschmidt · May 2, 2003 6:14AM

rustywilly:

Shuba arrived today -- thank you so much!!!!!!!

SportsModerator2 · May 2, 2003 7:22AM

Morning? Morning?!?

Have pity! I can't wake up that early

Carol

ejguru · May 2, 2003 7:39AM

8 A.M.???

What the %@*! is that???

. Luncheon would be a perfect break in the shopping day, pre-auction planning and socializing time. Here's hoping for something after 10 a.m.

Davalillo · May 2, 2003 8:50AM

Marc,

Thank you for selling me the 151 1955 Bowman psa 8s today.

And also thanks to Jay Wolt for selling me 60 1965 psa 8s and 23 1966 psa 8s.

This beats buying on ebay anytime.

Virtualizard · May 2, 2003 9:18AM

I'm open for anything after 10:00 AM on Thursday or Friday. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

JEB.

KING KELLOGG · May 2, 2003 9:43AM

Hey BJ..

Here's a thought...

A PSA Registry reception twice every night at show closing and a "late night" after hours party. Couple that with a PSA "surf and turf" buffet lunch that was discussed in a previous post...say...from about 11:ish to about 2:ish. A PSA "happy hour mixer"...Oh..about 4:00 or so....And I almost forgot...Made to order breakfast each morning...Would'nt want the board members to loose any energy, plowing through those ba'zillion of cert's..'ya know...

Hmmmmm....Do you think asking for airfare for all of us is streaching it too far ?

See you all there!!!

(Many thanks BJ...)

How 'bout a pajama party and sleepover while we're at it?

RayBShotz · May 2, 2003 9:15PM

BJ,

Yes. A luncheon or breakfast Thursday or Friday would be the dream!

Stump · May 2, 2003 9:29PM

BJ

I am in for whatever on thurs or friday.

Dave

crazysc · May 2, 2003 10:18PM

Why not just reserve four Blackjack tables at the Taj one evening?

cdbb · May 3, 2003 1:33AM

Is this really such a good idea? What if "Member A" turns out to look like the guy that married your exwife? What if "Member B" is wearing sandals and has dirty toenails? What if you best cyber buddy has an annoyingly high voice and eyebrows all the way across? Will things ever be the same?

toppsgun · May 3, 2003 4:45AM

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

RayBShotz · May 5, 2003 8:01AM

BJ,

Where did we leave this? Is PSA still mulling over different options or is the original Saturday evening gig a done deal? really hoping for the Thursday or Friday lunch.
update?
