Who is planning on going to the National?

A couple of questions for you planning the summer show vacation.

1. Who is going to the National?
2. What are you looking for while you are there?
3. What do you primarily collect.

I collect golf (I know big suprise on that one) I am hoping to find a nice and reasonable sport kings Hagen, Jones, Sarazen, or US Carmel Jones. If I find any British Tobacco issues in nice shape it will be strictly a bonus.

I am hoping to meet some fellow board members and particulary anyone else who collects golf!

    I'll be there....mostly looking but at the odd chance any old hockey is there, may actually buy a few cards this time.

    Not this year...

    I only get paid when I work and my assignment might be finishing up in the coming months. So, I'll wait and see if I'm out of work before I commit to Chicago. I figure that I can always sleep in the back seat of Castaldi's car if I can't get a hotel!

    I can't - and I live in Chicago!!! My best friend is getting married, and she lives in North Carolina. When she was planning the wedding, I told her that any weekend was good except July 30th. Guess what weekend she decided to get married image It's sad that my friends don't understand my sickness....

    I'll be there, but I really don't know which/how many days or if I'll have any money to spend. I'm getting married on May 28th and so the whirlwind won't end until late June. So I haven't even had a chance to think about July yet.

    Wouldn't miss it for the world.

    In previous years PSA has held a luncheon
    during the National, usually on Friday, for set registry participants.

    Hopefully they'll have one again this year. Great place to meet fellow collectors.

    Just be sure to arrive early.
    Last year I arrived late and image KingKellogg image had already finished off all the free beer. image

    Wolfie-
    I got to the registry lunch early and the King had still polished off all the beer. Showing up on time would've done you no good.
    I think the only thing we can do this year is launch a false rumour about a warehouse find of '81 K Kards (especially Winfield without the slice in it that he's on a futile search for) that just walked into the show, and then hide the keg from him.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

  • It will be my first national.
    Only looking for 38 goudeys. There better be some there because ebay and the usual dealers have run dry.

    PS: if you collect golf, be sure to check the sport kings bobby jones PSA 7 at milehighcardco.com it seems to be very high end for a 7.

    I was debating on whether or not to go, but I'll be there.
  • kobykoby Posts: 1,699 ✭✭
    I'll be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.
  • Hey, Kansas Jayhawk, I looked at your set and was amazed at the great condition of your PSA 5' and 6's! When I had these cards my PSA 7's didn't look that good. Keep it up. Its a great history of baseball. Krazy
