Anyone know if the 1984 show was in San Diego?

    1992 National in Atlanta.

    Very overwhelming. Over 900 tables! Couldn't keep up with everything going on. No CU, no internet, no "networking."

    Today it's way easier to keep track of things.

    Hope those at the National are having a good time!

    I've only been to one National thus far and it was last year.
    Here are the pictures of what I picked up and what I got to see while I was there.

    Picked up these three (the Ruth we received at the PSA luncheon):

    Ditto. McGwire was all the rage in the bay area, since it was his rookie season and he was hitting homers like no other rookie. I remember one dealer who had about 500 85T McGwires in his display case. Rumor had it that he won it from a gambling bet (i.e., instead of betting for money, they bet for cards???).

    1980 in CA. It was in a hotel by the airport. The next one I went to was in 1984. That one was great for back then.

    yep Ill always have fond memories of that first one in Los Angeles...as a 14 year old kid my budget was 20.00....I ended up with one purchase...a 1968 Jerry Koosman RC card.
    Many years later when a company named PSA came along,I sent it in and it came back a Psa 8!
    I can remember dealers with dozens of 65 Carlton and 67 Seaver Rookies fanned out. I wish I had picked up a few of those back then.

    Whatever year it was in Anaheim. Also the only one I attended. I think it was in the early 1990's.

    1989 Chicago. Got there on Sunday about 2pm, they didn't even charge entry. I remember some booths had some hot models and for a 16 year old I liked those booths a lotimage

    Chicago 2011.

    I left thinking never again... I spent more on travel than I did at the show unfortunately.

    But now I am thinking Chicago 2015? image
