Just thought I could bring some pics to you guys who didn't have a chance to make it out this year. I had a blast with my dad and cant wait til next year. I didn't take many pictures but hope you enjoy these!
This was the Panini Booth in the middle of their redemption program. Took FOREVER to get through that redemption line!
Blowoutcards Booth. Seems like they brought everything they had! Tables full of boxes! Blowout handed out magnetic snap down cases to everyone that walked by and also gave out raffle tickets for the raffle they held at 3:00 everyday. Some of the prizes included a Bryce Harper Auto Ball and Boxes of wax to a bag of swedish fish candy! They also gave out store credit as their grand prize each day.
The Black Swamp Find. This alone was worth seeing just because of the cards. I did my best to take some pictures of them. There were 2 glass cases full of cards. Each card was in a PSA Holder Labeled "Swamp Find". I wish you could see the condition of these cards up close. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
We walked by Heritage Auctions and saw some really cool pieces. Of course I had to take a picture of the 2 pieces below. Both are from Babe Ruth. Check out the price of that auto ball!!! I believe it was a PSA 9.5 Auto!!!
Babe Ruth Ball
Babe Ruth Game Used Bat
Can you guess who the African American man is in the picture? Look closely and scroll down for the answer!!! Sorry for this pic. I took it with my phone

You Guessed it! The king of Stolen bases! Rickey Henderson! It was really cool to see him out and about on the floor shopping for stuff. Many people stopped him to take a picture with him and he made sure everyone got a picture! I didnt get a photo with him but took that shot above while I had the chance!
Next Years National will be in Chicago. If you have never been to one, try and go. Its absolutely the best experience!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>If you have never been to one, try and go. Its absolutely the best experience! >>
Definitely agree with you Tad.
Thanks for the pictures. That Black Swamp find was amazing to see in person. See you at next year's National!!!
