Well it was a true pleasure meeting all of you. I tried to remember all the names but I didn't--so just going to say finally meeting you guys was the hi-lite of my trip--well also being on the Ledge of the Sears (now Willis Tower!!)
No need to recap what others have said about the NATIONAL--so will just show you some random pictures I took--and you all get to meet some of your CU Board Brothers. See who can name the most.

1st up---The VIP Room -- Pretty boring this year. 2 years ago they had the Wagner there and other cards.
2 other hi-lights---
Me and Sharon on the Ledge of the Sears Tower--make sure you do it next time!!
Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza when you get out of the Sears Tower
Saturday Nite we took a cruise from Navy Pier on the Oddessey II--pricey--but amazing. Buy 1 less card and go on this cruise
Random Cool Stuff -- Sharon loved the Bon Jovi authentic jacket
Someone asked about Japanese Cards and stuff
Cool Rocky related Stuff from Heritage??
THE JORDAN PACK
Me at the Memory Lane Booth holding the Babe Ruth Game used Bat--figured it probably never laid a bunt down so I was gonna drop one down the line--till the girl stopped me!
I opened 3 packs of '81 FB wax and did not get YOU KNOW WHO--and 1 pack of '80/81 basketball and ditto
After the long day--I returned to the Crowne Plaza and tipped a cold one with Sharon and we busted some shiny stuff
And without further adieu--or pictures--Meet your CU Board Brothers

<< <i>I'll be there Tuesday- Saturday. How about a Cubs game Thursday night? >>
The Cubs play at home on Wed afternoon, then travel to Milwaukee on Thurs. The White Sox host the Yankees starting that Fri night.
I'm from Chicago and I'll be going, not sure what days though.

Which game promises overpriced
I will be there from Tue-Sat. Dont know for sure yet what days I will be at the show. Im a football guy, but me and my clan
could possibly be cornered into a B-Ball game. Lord knows I will never take them to 1 at the K, with Arrowhead within walking
distance
Sorry no Cubbies game--but maybe Yanks versus ChiSox Friday?? Something to think about
Dan--what better family vacation than your 1st Natty?? Kids will love it !!!

If that's the case, there may be no product left when everyone else arrives!!!!! LOL

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.

let me know what you all think of Thrs dinner at Gibson's

if you have not booked your room you should do so ASAP. There were only a couple of hotels that were part of the National special rate.
There are still rooms available outside of the Natty special rate--but they run $30 or so more per nite
Need to research flights and rooms. Might have to find a park bench or someone's floor at this point.

I don't have hotel reservations yet. Unsure if I want to stay right next to the convention center or farther away to save a few hundred bucks. Where does everyone else stay?

I haven't been to one in probably 10 years or more, so really looking forward to it. I've saved my money for this, and have a big list of "wants" so hoping to score a least a handful from it - mostly graded vintage stuff but I love autographs so you just never know.
Anyway, I don't think the Cubs are in town that weekend are they? Sox are the only choice I think.
will update the thread with who is going later today
Always looking for Mantle cards such as Stahl Meyer, 1954 Dan Dee, 1959 Bazooka, 1960 Post, 1952 Star Cal Decal, 1952 Tip Top Bread Labels, 1953-54 Briggs Meat, and other Topps, Bowman, and oddball Mantles.
Looking forward to swing you guys around the BBCE tables....perhaps to do some old fashion pack wars.
Happy 4th folks.
