That's the scuttle. Could be the fewest in years. Reconsidering attending.

I heard that it is sold out
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines
From the website. "The 38th National Sports Collectors Convention will be held July 26-30, 2017 at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont IL
Booth space for the 38th National in Chicago is completely sold out. To be placed on a waiting list for any booths which become available"
Oh, well, lol..

CC ? Will you be treating me as naughty as you did last night ? Can't WAIT !
So they'd rather limit the number of tables to rent even though all those tables sold out?
This sounds like many of your threads, nothing more than rumor mongering and pot stirring. Can you provide some actual data for your assertions for a change?

I'm sorry but anyone who continues to refer to themselves in the third person should be ignored. FOREVER!

I agree good points, I think now is the time to sell my collection as the market is sure to be heading lower.

there is a long waitlist to get a table. Been sold out for months. Call and try to get a table.
I have no idea how many tables will be there, but I will mention that I was at the 2015 show. Was in Chicago for the entire week. I spent 3 full days at the show itself, and I am pretty sure I didn't see everything.
I have a hard time believing that if this year is short a few tables, people are going to be disappointed. That's just my opinion on this potential catastrophe
Plenty of business going on in hotel rooms, parking lots, on barstools, or internet thingys. There might be some folks who no longer require a "table" to manage their acquisitions.
We're still talking sports cards, right?
I know I already said I'm not going this year, but I'm REALLY not going if The Crisser doesn't go. :-)
Let me give you actual facts.
1) It will be as big or bigger than ever at that venue. As far as tables go.
2) They are sold out and sold out means sold out
The reason is this was going to be our first National Covention as a dealer. Well, months ago they were "sold out" and we were put on the waiting list.
So take it from someone who tried for months to buy a table from the NSCC and other dealers and has come up empty.
I hate to even post this if your original, inaccurate thoughts had you reconsidering.
Maybe next year is best for ya.

Wonder if the russians provided the OP news here
Oh. Dang. Wrong forum.
The first time for anything is always memorable! But I got a feeling we're still going to be waiting for that memory.
table for one?
How many tables this year? How does that compare to previous nationals in Chicago?
It wasn't sold out SIX months ago. Tables were available and I procrastinated and it cost me.
It will be full. Or they are just plain stupid.
What did a table go for?

I am so glad to know the OP is reconsidering going to the National. Sheesh.
I'm fresh out of gadfly repellent.
I recommend this light for sales at your dealer table:

Crisser- I know you like to stir the pot with every post you make, but does it really matter if there are less tables than last year or in 2013? There are some of us here that enjoy the atmosphere, friendships, card hunting and beer drinking at the show. I realize you don't have friends that you can share that with but I would bet if you would be pleasant and considerate towards others here, you actually might have a great time regardless of how many tables are available.
I personally would give you a chance because you might be a nice guy, but no one can give you that chance on a message board because you hide behind your computer typing crap stirring messages.
Dude grow up and be a man.
It's not a good sign when the troll posts get the most activity on the board.
The OP brings nothing to the table
Does the Crisser have any coherent posts?

I will be at the National, and frankly, could give a rats arse how many tables there are. Bringing my son to hang out, rip some modern, go to the batting cages, meet Net54 and CU forum members (that includes you crisser), hang out at BBCE. Heck, I'd even go play some golf up in Kohler if I had time.

He couldn't get a table, they are sold out.
He does bring thread views. Like him or hate him they are routinely the highest viewed threads. Drama brings the eyeballs.
The Sushi Master brought me eyeballs. He received a generous tip.
Is manufactured drama upon which this board now needs to rely?

It worked for William Shakespeare.
Just an observation. Once we went to this new format with thread views and reactions it became apparent. I honestly was surprised at how much activity The Crisser's threads got. Like I said the drama brings the eyeballs.
That is the cutest little dog ever. You don't have mountain lions out there, no? Just gators?
Ginger Roger's is the cutest little dog ever and is trying to kick cancer's a$$.
No just gators. And some really big ones.
This thread has 750 page views ! 700 of them from The Crissers IP address. Ya know those like this must check a billion times for responses.
I like The Crisser. He treats me gentle and lovingly when we're on the beach late at night when no one else is around.
I just boosted the view count of this thread by 5..

It's the CU equivalent to slowing down to look at an accident in the opposite lanes of the interstate. Deep down we know we wont see anything but we've got to look anyway.
Could someone recommend something similar to this for viewing cards?

I've accounted for several thread views, but I just like to see Lasorda hit the Phillie fanatic
with a stuffed Lasorda. Thanks Thunderdan!

That Lasorda clip is one of the funniest things I've ever seen here. I had to YouTube it to catch the original commentary. Priceless!

I must admit I'm a fan of that clip.
