The National - What are you looking for?

Okay so I am a little curious. Those of you that are going to the National what are you looking for?
I haven't been to one in years and I don't really have a game plan. I am going to work on a few sets and I am sure I'll pick up
some stuff from BBCE. Other than a few Football HOF autos I figure I will just go with the flow and see what strikes me.
I am still debating about starting a Johnny Bench set. We'll see...

    Im going with the attitude that anything is possible at this show. Things that I thought were not attainable or available may be there. I am looking for a nice 48 Bowman Basketball set (PSA), Unopened stuff, 51 ringside boxing cards, old hockey sets and anything awesome or what wets my whistle.
    To make those dreams come true, I will be bringing a 1952 topps Mantle psa 2 that will be an insurance policy to sell or trade if I find that item.A few other goodies will come too. I have no problem holding on to the Mantle if nothing comes up. This looks to be the last show in Cleveland for awhile . My advise is to walk your favorite tables first, dont hesitate if you find what you want, drink a few beers and have a good time. Take the whole show in..There is much to see...
