Who is planning on attending this years National in Chicago?

I plan on being there Friday and Saturday.

Anyone interested in buying, selling or trading in the hotels let me know as I am a few folks from the boards are staying at the Hilton.

Anyone interested in getting together for dinner on Friday, there is a good pizza place near the convention center.

    As of right now I'm planning to be there Friday evening for the Net54 dinner (actually I'll probably be too late for the dinner but will be there for drinks image) and will be at the show all day Saturday and Sunday morning. I'd be up for a CU dinner Saturday evening if anyone is interested.

    I don't either. I post VERY sporatically and use it more for the BST than anything. But it'll be a way to meet some more people in the hobby. And it's free booze. image

    I'm in Chicago so will definitely be going at least one day. Right now I'm thinking of taking off work thursday and spending the day there. Might go again on saturday or sunday depending on how thursday pans out. I'm hoping to find some low numbered Marvin Harrisons and finish off my 72 and 74 Topps FB sets.

    Every year something weird goes on like that.

    Cuffed and stuffed. It takes a pretty big set of balls to sell a jersey two times that has been deemed not authentic.

    I remember one year the FBI came in and talked to either Maestro or Heritage. I think it involved a NC Jordan warmup. No one was cuffed and dragged out though.

    Another year OJ just shows up and starts signing autographs.
