Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
I will be there someday. I go to shows now to prove I exist. I also may stick around at night to play poker with the baseball card boys. We used to have some great games, but now it is different because everyone thinks they are Chris Moneymaker, and Chris Moneymaker is not a poker player but a poker legend who got lucky for a week straight.
I also have some cards to submit to PSA so that will be fun.

Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
I will be there starting on Wednesday. A friend and I are driving to Milwaukee on Thursday to see the Cubbies & Brewers and then back down to Wrigley on Friday for the Cubbies & Pirates. I will be back at the show again on Saturday & Sunday.

Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
I'll be there Thursday for the whole day. I'm looking mainly for maybe a jersey case and some single glove cases... Anybody want to hook up for a hotdog - 810-434-1175.

Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
I'll be there Wednesday evening and most of Thursday.
If you will be there on either of those days, email me at TNT_Toys@yahoo.com, and I will send you my cell phone # in a reply.

Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
Whoever is going to the national, make sure to post your observations. I have never been to a national and I'd love to know anything about the "game used" end of it.
Take lots of pics. Talk to some dealers and auction houses. Ask some questions. Seems like a great place to get info and feel out the state of the hobby.Always looking for game used San Diego Chargers items...

Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
Yes, if anyone feels the need
, I would be very curious about the status of game-used stuff (particularly jerseys). I'm debating travelling from Lansing, MI on Saturday.

Re: 29th National Sports Collectors Convention
Just wanted to publically thank Vince Malta for helping provide info on a Ted Kluzewski bat I was thinking about buying at the National Wednesday. After talking about the bat and showing me Klu's shipping records on his computer, Vince walked with me to the booth offering the bat, and told me why it wasn't a bat that Klu used.
A big thanks to Vince! I hope you get to see his Giants eventually win a World Series.
While some of the big shows in Rosemont and nearby Schaumburg have dropped in quality in recent years, the National is still an event in the hobby. Its size is overwhelming and there was lots of good stuff to be had. On the game-used front, you could find some decent items here and there, but these days you're going to find most game-used items offered in auctions.
