time warp? An alternate universe NSCC?
I found some great deals and some of you in Cleveland in 2014. Definitely going next year.
Spent a fun day at the National. Found a few things for my various collections. The Cody Bellinger (#5/10) and Gleyber Torres were from 3 Panini Wrapper Redemption packs I bought for $10 so should make some money back from those. The 72 Topps are all high numbers - down to 28 cards to finish the set. The 3 Grace Bowman Wrapper Redemptions are pretty sweet - the red is /10 and gold /50. Got them all except the black 1/1. And a free COMC fidget spinner. COMC members got to spin a wheel and either won store credit or landed on a card that they were entered into a drawing to win (I landed on a high grade Puckett rookie). Saw lots of great stuff, but feet are tired tonight. $22 admission is getting high, especially with parking on top of that.
I would love to go just to say Ive been. Being closer would help me out. though, not sure what I'd do as I'm not a box/casebreaker, promo collector or a prospect guy.
Looks like Brad found some great looking cards. nice pickups
Question for you guys with massive player collections. In your experience, is the national show a good place for picking up hard to find cards? Maybe a more specific way to phrase this is how many new cards would you expect to come home with for your PC after a couple days at the national?

I go in with the expectation of picking up 1-2 rare cards for my collection. I was lucky enough to buy 3, and be gifted three things I needed from fellow collectors. It is definitely worth it at least for the opportunity to be there

Zan - I saw 2 Greenbergs I wondered if you had. The 1939 GOUDEY PREMIUMS R303-A (large sucker) and a Wheaties Panel Stamp. What did you pick up?
I Actually had a pretty good time at the national this year.
I picked up 3 1/1 for my Bagwell collection. Also had a few really incredible pickups that I am beginning to get scanned. Here is one of them:
