    So...on a related note, but slight o/t, would this be a really bad time to end something on Ebay??

    You can find me at the Bbce Booth whenever I need a break. Last year it was a popular meeting point. Just ask Steve or rick if there are any board members nearby and they will point us out.

    It will also be 20 years for me since I went to my first and only National. I was on a mini-vacation with my Dad in 1991. He had plans to go golfing and was going to drop me off at the Atlanta Convention Center so I could spend the day there. He saw the amount of people waiting for the doors to open and decided he should join me at the Convention. He doesn't have much appreciation for the hobby but I think he was blown away by the spectacle of the National. Who wouldn't be?

    wasn't 1991 the year of the Promo Card when the National was in Anaheim and they had to like evacuate the building or something because of the amount of people indoor?

    Rick, this alone should make you the most popular booth in the room! Every dealer worth his salt should have internet access at their booth, but to share it with the public? Good man.

    I only have to drive in from Rockford to the show, just about 80 miles or so. I have a friend coming up from Texas on Wed (8/3) for the show and when I pick him up, we will be headed to see the White Sox vs. N.Y. Yankees. I got seats in section 103, row 37...just to the 1st base side of home plate. Then its to the show Thurs. thru Sat. Then maybe a Cubs game sun afternoon!

    Safe to say, my week is booked up.

    Later, Paul.

    Later, Paul.

    I was at the Atlanta convention on Saturday. I remember that about the only thing I bought was a 60 Koufax for my set. Last one I have been to.
