My National Strategy

#1. Don't overpay for any item.
#2. Look and think before I leap.
#3. Try to be cool and not get overly excited to begin.
#4. Don't pay for any autos. IMHO they are all over-priced.
#5. Try to get home without being broke.
Not a great strategy but looking forward to the National. What is your strategy? Are you looking for specific items only? Do you have a spending limit? Just hope I don't go crazy!

#2. Wear my walking shoes because I am only going to be there weds and thurs and I want to see as much as possible in the time I am there
#3. Have fun with the dealers even though I have been to several Nationals and know that several of them are let's say "not the friendliest".....lol
Rule #2: Don't be afraid to counter offer a counter offer.
Rule #3: If the price seems too good to be true, look again. There's probably a reason that it is still sitting on the table or in the showcase.
Rule #4: Don't break in new shoes at the National.
Rule #5: Never turn down an offer to eat at Gibson's or Giordano's.
Rule #6: Joe Orlando doesn't really have time to talk to anyone about why their 1988 Donruss Mike LaValliere got a PSA 5.
Rule #7: If anyone sees a 1948 Leaf White Background, I would appreciate a heads-up!!!
Rule #8: The show is big. There's lots of stuff. Make a quick walk around the entire room picking off what you see at first glance. Then go back and be more thorough. You'll thank me on Sunday.
Rule #9: Someone will pull a Jordan from a 1986 Fleer pack. That doesn't mean everyone else that buys one will.
Rule #10: If you try to be stubborn on a price even though you're close, see Rule #1.
