    I am still going back and forth over whether to go to the National or not. Not sure it's such a great place for a ripper to be these days!

    Too bad I can't make the national....business getting in the way.....again!

  • We will see you all in Cleveland !!!

  • I'm guessing that most of you (since you fly in to Cleveland) are eating dinner each night at your hotel's overated & overpriced restaurant. Is that true ?
  • flatfoot816flatfoot816 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭
    after much sole searching--and pocket searching for extra $$--I have decided that I cannot make it this year. My new house has eaten up a LOT of MONEY!!!!!--not that I am complaining--and the recent "glut" of unopened hitting the market has eaten up the rest of my cash.

    So have a great time and please take pictures!

    I do have some wants and will be asking some of you to watch out for what I am looking for

    Next year is right around the corner--

    I can't believe I'm missing two in a row. The funny thing is I'll be in Canton the following week for the HOF dinner. I do plan on being there next year in Chicago.

    I'm not much of a facebook guy for I apologize if it has been posted there, but will we be seeing you ripping open another pack live this year? If so, any insider info on what type of pack it is? As long as it isn't baseball, otherwise, feel free to lie to me. image

    Hey Guys.

    Received word today, that the calendar will allow me to attend to the National for a couple of days.

    Looking to be there Thursday and Friday (shooting for Wednesday but still in the air).

    Looking forward to catching up with a few guys and seeing some cool stuff ripped (or at least purchased) at the BBCE tables.

    I am planning on the PSA lunch, too.


    See you guys in a week, or so.

    Yes, we have a few packs lined up. Probably the highlight will be the 1958 Topps Football Cello pack hoping for the Jim Brown rookie! If it yields like the 1955 Bowman pack from last year, it will be pretty cool. We have a few other packs in the queue, as well. I won't say anything about the sport(s), yet. We'll post it on the Facebook page and with CU's blessing, we'll also post the ripping schedule here...

    Just make sure jmoran doesn't get a look at that 1958 cello and ruin the surprise. Looking forward to watching you in action again this year.
