I suppose that on Friday the crowds will be thinner than during the weekend, so that is when I might head on up. If not Friday, Saturday for sure.

thats why i picked Thursday

I will be there on Saturday August 7. My father and uncle are coming with me. I plan on going to the booth first to say hey. I want to walk around first and check things out, we have never been to a National before. I would like to go back to the booth in the afternoon but I don't know what FCB's schedule is like for Saturday. Nick said he would be there Saturday also but I don't know what his plans at the show are.

For those of us who can't make it, will there be a thread that we can post a list of cards we're looking for in case someone at the National sees it?

There will be, but understand that it's incredibly to dig around these things for countless wantlists.

As there will be a live feed you can follow along as the National goes on and make requests there as well.

Everyone will make a effort to keep their eyes peeled.

For those of you attending the National that have never had a chance to spend any time in Baltimore's inner harbor, you're in for a real treat. This far surpasses the airport district of the suburbs of Chicago. I'm as excited about spending time in the harbor again as I am the National itself.

Ditto, there is a ton of great things to do. if you get the chance hit up the aquarium. well worth the time.

Bud, I am not gonna lie, its tough to look for particular cards. The size of the show just makes it crazy to go from booth to booth looking for some of the unique things you guys ask for. As a staffer, we get to know many of you and your likes and habits. We will try to keep an eye out for anything that we can, but its hard. We hardly had any time to get to the show floor last year and we even had several guys looking for stuff for the entire show. We'll do our best but we can't make any promises.

I sort of figured that but thought I'd ask anyways. I hate that it has to be during my birthday weekend!

Hey I know the feeling. My birthday falls on the first day of the show. I'll be hustlin at the booth instead of partying but thats ok. I know you like Schilling. I hate the jerk after his sock incident in 04(yes I am a Yankee fan and yes I'm kidding). I will keep an eye out for ya on some stuff and with all the coverage we will definitely be able to report back if we find anything.

To be fair though, sounds like an amazing birthday. Mine falls on Presidents Week, so Washingston steals all my love.
