My son and I coming in Wednesday. Plan to do the sneak peak Wednesday late afternoon.
Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
Prefer to buy in bulk.
My 15 year old son and I will arrive Friday and stay until Sunday. Planning to drop off some cards to PWCC and look for a few odd ball and minor league sets. Also would like to complete my raw mid grade 55 bowman and any grade 62 post football sets. Assuming I can find decent prices on the post SP's.
Appreciate today-
Bill
Hiya Nathan
I'll be arriving on Tues and staying thru Sat.
Hope to attend the luncheon - haven't received an invite yet.
I usually see people hanging at BBCEx.
Be interesting to see what people have planned?
Picked up 89 1955 bowman today at the shop in PSA 4/5ish grade if you want to pm me your list.
I'll be there Tues-Sat. We usually meet Thrs at 2 at BBCE booth. I talked to Steve about maybe doing a group rip for those present. HE will keep me posted as the time arrives so I'll let you all know. We'll see what he has available
I'll be with fiancee and her daughter so we will be splitting time there and at other places
I will arrive in Chicago Thursday night with plans to be at the show most of the weekend so would love to meet some of you.

I will be living vicariously through the postings on this site.
I did enjoy meeting a few board members last year in Atlantic City but the midwest is out of my range.
I'll most likely drive down there Thursday morning from Milwaukee. Spend a buncha money and get home by 6 or 7. My plan is to scout/buy Aaron and Jackie cards.
This time we'll coordinate better Manny!
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
Hope to see you there Manny.
Hiya Anthony
You gonna be there the whole show? If so - see you there.
Getting in with the family late Wednesday/early Thursday, and leaving late Saturday. Will be hitting Gibson's, Capital Grille, and Doubletree cookies with an occasional visit to the Natty
Looking forward to it, and AC was great since I got to meet a lot of board members for the first time. First time the family has missed in several years due to it being in AC last year, and young one enjoys seeing the vintage stuff and spending dad's money - plus ripping open several boxes of Bowman Chrome at the hotel every night. Wife enjoys it as well and finds old photos and memorabilia to decorate the man cave with. Can't believe it is almost here!!

Just Wednesday late morning until Saturday.

I will be there Thursday - Saturday.
Will be there Thursday - Sunday. Would love to rip a few packs!
i will be there set up for the first time so i am kinda stoked and would to meet up with everyone as usual just let me know when and where...
Friday afternoon through Sunday morning. I'm sure I'll see a few of you.
I don't have near the buying list I had next year, and a 50/50 chance I could be buying Heritage and Bowman Chrome to crack open in the room each night! Will be at Gibson's at least once and maybe hit Capital Grille down a few blocks - they did put a Gene and Georgetti's by Giardanos about two miles away from the hotels.
A drink with the Crisser - I would definitely be down for that and on me. Anyone with a Star Wars character for an avatar has to be a pretty cool guy in real life. I have only seen each movie 40+ times and can recite most lines by heart as well as characters. Curious to the plot for Last Jedi - figure it will be dark like all 2nd movies in the trilogies.

I hope to see you all there this year.
I met a bunch of you in Chicago - but now that I just turned 100, I have very short term memory.
Mike aka cpa was immensely helpful intro'ing me around.
The big question is what socks will Mike wear this year
Any color with shorts as long as it's white.
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

See you there Eric.
Hope to see a bunch of the crew at a the PSA luncheon.
YES!!!!!!

Speaking of the PSA luncheon, I just got my invite. I'll see you guys there.
And I saw the comments about my socks, I have some really nice ones to wear this year for those attending. Unless Bounce goes undercover and snaps some more picture of me, LOL.
But I have promises to keep,

Dang. Gonna miss it again. Gimme a shout if any of you are hanging out for Lollapalooza.
I'm buying Eric.
Just got my invite - looking forward to sitting at the table with you guys!
Hiya Mike!

I'm only going this year if I win a best of registry set... I hope I make it I could use the break and entertainment!
Join the Rookie stars on top PSA registry today:
1980-1989 Cello Packs - Rookies
I was planning on attending, but changed my mind a few weeks ago. Hope everyone has a great time and can't wait to see what BBCE has to offer.

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
cross a '15 jax
land a '72 erving 10
bump a '54 aaron
drop off a '52 mantle

I cant make it. Gotta go to the Peoples Republic of California this year
The boy is going Marines and they think California will make him a man, I guess 
I do look forward to lots of pics (especially unopened football)
Eric, love the quote from Fast Times & Mikey I was hoping to see those iconic socks, but I'll have to wait until next year in Believeland. Have fun boys!!!

You mean Bowman 2017? Bowman Chrome is not out yet... Just curious because my son and I may be ripping also.
Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.

Correct Bowman 2017 which has some Chrome versions in it. Might also grab some 2013 Bowman DP and Prospects and crack them open with the family like we always do - wife even busts them open. A couple empty shoeboxes, some packs of sleeves and top loaders and all good after some Gibson's for dinner and followed up a batch of Doubletree cookies. Which will be followed up by an early am workout to burn them off!
