National Visitors Please post BBCE pictures

I can not attend but would love to know the goodies Steve has been holding for the National. Earlier pictures the better since some of the stuff will fly out and everyone attending have a great National!

    Last year there was an extensive video on youtube. I wish that would happen again--got to see their whole display scrolled through.

    Thanks for sharing. Wish I could be there. Always an incredible sight to behold - that much product in one place.

    Hope that the CU group rips are plentiful!

    Here is a photo dump of the BBCE booth from today. I just took as many pictures as possible and there may be some duplication and overlap, but I'm sure you guys won't mind. Btw, the 1986 Fleer Basketball boxes are not duplicate pics.

    Great stuff but surprised how much is out there. Prices seem high and don't think any of the 86 boxes will sell at those prices..but who knows..always higher than eBay at the nat

    I'm gonna do a "set up day" at the National along with pics of BBCEx that have been posted - I took pics also.

    While I was taking the pics, 2 guys dropped 69K for boxes of 86F Bkb.

    Wow insane!

    Were those wax boxes or frankenstein? I assume full boxes with verified coloring and stickers. Was curious what the notation was with the boxes. If anyone stops back by there take a photo of whats left. TY

    They were fresh boxes from a partial case find. Arguably the best boxes that have ever come to market. The two boxes left are priced higher because in each box, there is a pack with Jordan on top.

    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.

    Great stuff! Funny how we as collectors see it as fun, but for guys working 8 hours a day for the next 5 days it is completely different.

    Setting up can be a lonely experience...

    again guys doing live rips:

    If anyone wants one before they're all gone? Just PM me.

    The guy in front is the "exhibit" leader - the guy behind is following him out of idle curiosity.

    If you've never been to the National? I recommend comfortable footwear.

    Glad I brought my notes. Heard there's a quiz on Thursday.

    Another guy setting up

    Got my eye on the Koufax...

    what are the odds it's over priced?

    Well, that's it for now.

    Will be on the floor tomorrow with all the guys fully set up - if I see anything cool - I'll post.

    I'm also on the lookout for some items mentioned in another thread.
