One word comes to mind when I see this list - OUCH!!! I hope you were able to secure a price somewhere even remotely close to VCP!

A 1951 Bowman Mantle nice to have congradulations.

Every card I purchased outside of the 72 Clemente was under VCP. The mantle was 150 under.

Wow!! To hear others talk, the prices at the National were OUTRAGEOUS with no deals in sight. And now you are saying that the prices were reasonable. I guess I will have to reschedule my cancelled trip for next year after all!

There were good deals, you just had to find them. I have some friends that deal and I typically go there first. Also, traffic was sparse the two days I was there and dealers seemed willing to come off their prices. Also I was spending more than a couple hundred and the higher you spend the more willing it seems for them to deal.
