Even if absolutely no purchases are made, I think going to the National would still be worth it just to check out all the museum quality memorabilia.

Is it worth going to the National for only one day (Saturday)?

I would be able to get there when doors open, and could stay all day.

Not looking to wait in line for autographs, or pack redemptions, just looking for needles in hay stacks for my collection. It would be a four hour drive, but circumstances have fallen in place where I think I might be able to go on Saturday. It would be my first time attending.

Definitely worth the trip if you can go the entire day with a reasonable game plan. I went last year on Sunday, met a bunch of FCB members and breakers, found some great PC cards in a bargain box, bought some nice vintage packs (pulled a Ripken rookie) and found a game used Dunn bat I photomatched to a baseball card. Just keep moving and have fun.

For those of you going, not that it is easy to pick someone out of a crowd, but Ill either be wearing my Nordiques hat or Miracle on Ice hat, depends what time of the day it is :lol:

After a slight mishap (wrong terminal, airline moved from small to big terminal and I didn't know, doh) I'm sitting on my flight about to take off in 15 mns. Very excited to get into Chicago by 730 as it leaves me ample amount of time to head into the city for some grub.
