Submitted 31 cards at the National. Very pleased with the turnaround time (less than a week), and about what I expected on the grades. I only submit cards that I think will grade 7 or higher and the 28 cards that were slabbed on this submission averaged out to 6.93.
Three cards didn't grade -- two miscuts (got vouchers on those) and a 1962 Aaron All Star that I was hesitant to submit previously. I should have listened to that inner voice, it was recolored.
I bought 4 slabbed cards at the show (scans at the end of this post), beauties but no bargains. I knew that coming in (it was my third National) but they were all cards that I had high on my want-list so I was willing to pay a premium to buy them live.
Here are the submission highlights, with descriptions of where and when each card was originally purchased. Enjoy the scans!

I havnt seen cards like those in a shop in a very, very long time. Nice grades in general, and definately great looking cards. Congrats !

Can't believe how organized you are
what with your record keeping of when and where you bought each card.
Appreciate all the great scans!
"How about a little fire Scarecrow ?"
Tremendous! Some of the best 7s on the planet!
Some look like 8s - well centered also.
The 63F Clemente looks super - must be a touch from an 8?
thanx for sharing
