Re: The National Show

Somebody let me know what Fugate is selling Reds wise..Wish I was there just for that.

He's has some jerseys, alot of bats. Most of it is pre-1980 I think, although I didn't go through everything.

Re: The National Show

I was there Today as well And am going back Friday.Wow what A Show.This was A Huge Show And I biggest I ever went to.Most of The Main Dealers were there And I think A nice Selection all around of Game Used Items.Taubes Booth was First Class And I did pick up A Bat Today from him.I thought there would be more Orioles Items though.I Walked around for Hours And was Loving Looking at everything Dealers had to Offer even though I knew I could not Afford most of it.They had Tons And Tons of Graded Cards And am going back to look at them as I really did not look Today.I sure hope The Show comes back to Baltimore again.I Walked around with A few Members here And we had A Blast.Can't wait to do it all over again Friday.

Thanks

Re: The National Show

Greg - there was some great 60s and 70s Reds game used equipment there. i will post photos tomorrow.

Andrew -- I think I may have talked to you Wednesday night without knowing it was you. I was at John Taube's booth with Dave Bushing and we were talking to a man in a black shirt who was holding Strasberg's bat over by the computer, and discussing what a terrible hitter and even a terrible bunter Strasburg is.
If that was you -- hello!

Re: The National Show

Re: The National Show

One of the vendors I recall had a few 49ers jerseys prices seemed a little high and it was of no real big names..


Also there has been like 5 or 6 people saying they will pay finders fees to people who are going to the show. I would like to point out earlier in the week I had a post telling people to email me what they were looking for and with their phone numbers and I would be happy to help out and only like 3 of you took me up on that offer!

I didn't bring a camera the other day, but hopefully someone can take some photos.

hopefully. I found a video of John Taube at the video at the show and it showed some cases in the back but didn't see the ARod case. He was showing a cool Roy Campanella bat from the year the Giant won the Pennant.

The only dealer there with 49ers jerseys that I noticed was one of the two big game used jersey displays, which were for Hartel Sports and gamewornuniforms.com. So you could find the 49ers shirts they have likely on their web site. From what I could tell, there were not any big names.

As for the show itself, from what I've heard from others before I went was in complete contradiction to what I saw. There were a lot of card and memorabilia dealers, but there were also a good number of dealers with game used items. The thing is you just need to know where to look and what to look for when going to these shows otherwise it can be extremely overwhelming. (I honestly don't know how card collectors can do this is show in all of the days the show lasts.) Overall though it seemed like a great show for game used items. I ended up bringing back a pretty big haul of game used items, and the dealers were willing to work with you on Friday, something that doesn't normally happen until Sunday when they have to worry about hauling everything back.

Anyways another year, a great show and a bunch of great items. Here's what I took back from the show:

Jordan Staal Pittsburgh Penguins Blue Alternate Jersey
Carlos Lee Home Run Derby Warmup Jersey
Krivda Baltimore Orioles Road Jersey
Fernandez Baltimore Orioles Alternate Jersey
Johns Baltimore Orioles Road Jersey
Miller Baltimore Orioles Road Jersey x2
Ryan Zimmerman Louisville Slugger Bats x2
Adam Dunn Louisville Slugger Bats x2
Ivan Rodriguez Louisville Slugger Bats x2
Nyger Morgan Louisville Slugger Bat
Willie Harris Louisville Slugger Bat
Matt Morse Louisville Slugger Bat
Jim Edmonds Glomar Bat
Carlos Lee Rawlings Bat
Dave Winfield Adirondack Bat

Like I said a great show and a great haul. It was nice talking to all of the members I spoke to at the show and some that I probably spoke to without knowing.

Re: The National Show

This has been a pretty good show overall, and while I've mostly picked up cards and a few signed photos, I've also picked up the following:

Greg Norton game worn Rockies cap, and my favorite item I've picked up:

Carlos Rogers game worn Redskins jersey circa 2008 (COA JO Sports - got this at a VERY affordable price)
