NSCC Need Advice

I'm headed to Chicago and I went 2 years ago and had a problem I'm hoping to get some advice on. I collect unopened and the issue I had was after buying a few boxes and packs I realized my backpack wasn't the best storage. I plan to buy 5-10 wax or cello boxes as well as bring about the same amount of product with me to have authenticated and wrapped. How / what do you bring with you to the show to tote unopened around with you? I just saw a Coleman cooler on wheels at SAMs that I think would do the trick. I also remember some folks a few years back with suitcases on wheels. So what is your best practice / suggestion?

    Yes the upright suitcase on wheels was
    Perfect for me in Cleveland!
  • Steve (bbce) will usually not authenticate and wrap boxes at the show. They don't have time. That will save you some room in your backpack.

    I was going to recommend one of the rolling crates like you get at Staples, or Office Depot, but I think a small carry-on size rolling suitcase may be even better because it can be closed and secure.

    best way--mail it to yourself.

    No difference in getting it from someone on eBay or from Steve. You can buy boxes and peanuts and stuff close I am sure and there has to be a post office nearby and maybe FedEx will come to the hotel

    There was on-site FedEx last year if I remember correctly.

    52-90 All Sports, Mostly Topps, Mostly HOF, and some assorted wax.

    They are accepting boxes and will ship them back so it saves me $50 to haul them to Chicago though. At least that's what they told me when I called.

    Nice idea on the staples, Office Depot. I will check them out.
