My son and I stopped in on thursday. Wanted him to see some of the neat stuff that was displayed. The old stuff was neat to see. Saw the Mantle Topps 52 gem mint 10 and of course the holy grail of tobacco cards for sale at only 1.2 mil. Got to chat with Gilmo, Wes, Philly, and Mox. Hey it was great to see you guys, maybe we'll get a chance to spend more than one day next time.

I thought it was known that Gibsons wastop of the kine expensive. Most everything that close to the convention center is going to be pricey from my experience.

One of the auction houses had a number of Spahn items they were selling as apparently the family is liquidating much of their personal collection. I had picked up an auction catalog from this auction house and I believe it had a good amount of Spahn related items in it (I have yet to look at it but he was on the cover). I am going back tomorrow and I will have time to take pictures so I will see what I can find. If you want the catalog let me know as I can get another.
anybody seen any NT baseball? I was just wondering if there was a lot of unopened cases/boxes? I know this stuff has to be drying up but there are alot of cards that I need and I am hoping its still in wax and not in someones collection.Anyone see any buttons/tags/patches for sale from NT? juniorgriffey has been sending me some ( which, by the way, thank you sir)
Also since its a Chicago show I would assume there would be quite a few Nellie Fox cards for sale. If any one sees any patches/tags/buttons/barrels etc for sale of his let me know. His stuff is kinda hard to find

Just thought it was another ole steakhouse or hotel restaurant but noooooooooooo, we really debated on leaving $5.00 on the table for the bread and water and leave that place. We ended up getting the $15 chopped steak.

Thanks for the kind gesture, but I think I am going to pass on it. I am just so pissed that the person who pulled it got anything for it now. LOL

If you're in the area and are thinking about getting some good food, take the 15-20 min drive from Rosemont to River Grove and go to this place called "Gene's and Jude's" best hotdogs in America and they're like 2.49 a piece.
Fellow Illinois natives can vouch for me.

Gene and Jude's is awesome!
Had a great time overall, especially meeting several of you for the first time. Had fun on the webcam, as well as watching our own Hoopster bust that National Treasures stuff. The moment when a bunch of us gasped at the same time as he pulled a Logoman Patch was pure magic. 
Businesswise, I didn't do much of it. Bought/traded for Marisnick & Bogaerts Chrome Ref Autos and bought BGS 10/10 base Chrome autos of Jose Fernandez & Gregory Polanco. That was it. Bargains were clearly long gone by the time I got there, as I had to pay full (or slightly above) eBay value.
Wish I'd gotten to meet Andrew. And yes, you too, Counselor Novell. Maybe next year, dude.
It's a good thing I left when I did, though. Had to take a taxi back to the train station. It's a 30 minute drive with no delays. Unfortunately, my friendly driver from the Middle East had to go about 15-20 MPH all the way into the city. Took nearly 90 minutes all told, and I barely made it. I could hear Barry Manilow's "Looks Like We Made It" in my head for a long time afterwards.
And I am now thoroughly exhausted. Later, hope we can do this again in C-Town.

We just got done opening all the wax we bought at the national and had gotten some of the panini packs which we just opened and in one of the packs was a redemption for an 8 by 10 signed by Andre Roberts (no idea who he is) but guess what- valid only at the 2013 national.

Was nice seeing you on Ustream; great timing on that Fernandez auto btw, I expect a price bump at the show after tonight's performance
