My one day at the National

I've been to a few Nationals, but this was my first time meeting other board members. I can see why many have responded that the highlight is the people you see over the cards. I really enjoyed meeting many of you (the list is too long to mention everyone), I wish I had more time to get to know you guys and talk cards. I was only able to go for one day, but it was a good one. I accomplished my goal of finding the packs needed to finish my box and finally getting my box wrapped. I am now going to put my 1980-81 Basketball obsession away and focus on something else, it's about time. Verbalizing that I need to be done with that set was therapy for me, I've been into that set for WAY too long. I'm already looking forward to AC for next years national, I'm hoping to make it. Anyways, here's my box:

    Matt, it was great meeting you this year even if it was for a short moment. Hopefully, you'll have more time to hang out at the Atlantic City show and talk cards.

    Congrats on finishing off your 1980-81 Basketball obsession!!

    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.

    Matt..... It was nice meeting you and that pack you have with Bird Magic showing is super nice. I'm like you I love 80-81 basketball. It a very unrated set plus singles.

    Congratulations on the box Matt.

    It's really hard to get it all in one day - have to agree.

    I'm also looking forward to next year!
