Only 1 week to go!!

We'll be meeting up each day from Thursday to Saturday at 2:30pm at the BBCE booth. I figured guys wouldn't want to meet up on Wednesday as they would want time to get a lay of the land. See you next week and have a safe trip!!

A friend of mine is taking his son there for his birthday so a bunch of us are going together (not sure where our seats are yet). I'm bringing my wife and 1-year-old daughter! Should be interesting... at least I already know she likes baseball games and fireworks! lol
I regret to say that I won't be able to make it there this year. My situation has changed and my wife and I think it might be better to try to make it next year in Chicago. I hope everyone has a great time! Bruce

That should be a good time. If I decide to catch the game I'll "announce it" here I guess. I would think think there'd be at least a few from the boards that would enjoy taking in a game.
Since nothing is within walking distance of the IX center, after the show each night, most of you are probably having dinner at your hotel's restaurant. So no one's probably meeting up with anyone unless guys are staying at the same hotel. Am I Right ?

I will be wandering, head down and with a purpose...
I'm sure a certain someone or two will point me out and introduce me to a few of you (as has been the case the last few years) and if I fail to recognize you or remember your face to screen name later in the day or week, I apologize. The National is all work and my mind is crammed with business 24/7. By Thursday afternoon, I don't even remember my hotel room number and by Saturday, I struggle to remember to wear shoes!

<< <i>Tuesday-Saturday if Steve Grad will let me stay in the building..LOL >>
Just wondering....Is that the same Steve Grad that took 268.00 from me to Authenticate and Grade my 1953 Team signed Cleveland Browns ball, that my Grandfather left me in his will, had packed away for 59 years where it never saw light, was in ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE condition, then I hand delivered it to PSA in Santa Ana, Ca. handed over 268.00 for him to tell me the Ball was STAMPED. Then I took the Ball to James Spence, who ACTUALLY DID HIS JOB, Authenticated the Ball, and gave me a FULL LOA.
Is that the SAME Steve Grad ?

I hope this is the Steve Grad that will authenicate my lot of 14 Thurman Munson autographs that I obtained in person at a banquet when I was 14 years old. The same cards that James Spence refused to authenicate for a REA Auction.
Underwear? Wow! That came out of right field. If it would make you happy, I'll be certain to post a selfie to Instagram each morning in the early stages of getting dressed...
Regardless, all I need for a great National is excessive amounts of vodka, an hour of sleep per night, a few good steaks and plenty of material that I can purchase and then a little more material to purchase.

By the way, if you're looking for something else going on nearby during the National, the WGC Bridgestone Invitational is going on in Akron this weekend (45 minutes south of the IX Center). I was just there today for the practice round, which happens to be a great day to go get autographs.
Anyway, I thought it would be a pretty cool thing for those of you looking to fill some gaps in your trip.
