    Amazing! The National is the best! The last time it was in LA (2006) I was there everyday all day - literally could not get enough. I walked up to every dealer and wanted to buy something from everyone. Great video, glad you guys had a blast.

    Nice video, I was at the National on Friday and Sunday...omg the deals I got on Sunday for '69 Jackson $95(raw but absolutely dead centered with sharp corners and great edges), '63 rookie, '64, and '65 ($80), '68 Rose, got a '70 Jackson, '71 Jackson, '76 Jackson,
    '60 Yastrzemski rookie (absolutely pristine raw, dead centered, sharp edges/corners, great color) and this guys on the end were selling Jeter rookies ('93 Topps and Upper Deck) $2/each. ...lol I bought 20 Topps and 20 Upper Deck....not many deals on Friday but Sunday absolutely deals to be had

    The centering on that 1981 Topps Harold Baines was about as perfect as it gets.

    Man, all those cards! A slice of heaven right there. So overwhelming. It'd take years to go through all those tables. That one table with the shelves of wax boxes was pretty sweet. Thanks for posting!

    I was there too! Great time! I picked up a raw 1975mini Hank Aaron. I then promptly walked over to SGC to get it graded. I'll be receiving it in the mail in two weeks, I'm hoping for at least a "7" "Near Mint".

    Loved the first day video. I can't believe how large the venue and the number of exhibitors there are. I would love to attend the convention but flying cross country is so costly. I know the National is always held in the east. Atlantic City is too far from WA but, I would consider Ohio. Thanks for the great first day video.

  • @alexkupisz6427
    @alexkupisz6427 5 років тому

    You had TWO kids stop you and ask for your autograph! They watch all the time! Thats awesome!
    Whenever i took my son to a big show-i would be having heart palpitations to get around & grab some bargains before they would disappear! if you run in to friends or dealers you know-its like "cant talk now-crunch time-ill catch you later & we'll talk...."
    hated when you would just miss the bargain of the day.
    Oh-but to be there early-and stumble on something special-its as addicting as anything else in the world!
    MY Favorite-got to a show early around 10 years ago, stumbled on a 1953 tops satchel paige for $15....one of our best finds ever-several creases-but colorful! -i asked him later why? (after it was secure in our pocket of course)... just a collector who set up at a show to sell off his doubles he upgraded over the years.. charged us what he paid for it 20 years ago.
    My SONS best bargains-he was 10, we set up at a small show to sell off doubles, & my son walks the floor & comes back with a $25 purchase (without asking first to make sure it was a good deal-which was unusual), thought he was going to hand me a red sox jersey card of kevin youkilis-thats where he was at... he hands me a 69 nolan ryan, decent card-some wear-but no creases! i was SHOCKED! Very proud moment for me.
    After watching this video-we just dragged out the books with those cards in it & relived those moments-THANK YOU for that!
    Mr Alex

    I went to the national when it was in Baltimore a few years ago. It really is amazing to see everything that is there. Makes you realize how much material is really out there. I said I wouldnt go to another National though unless I had a minimum of $5k spending money to take along. If I won the lottery, the National would be the best day of my life.

  • @Lawomenshoops
    @Lawomenshoops 5 років тому +2

    I just saw your video of the flea market in Youngstown. You bought an autograph baseball with six autographs, and the seller thought it was an Indians baseball. Did you ever figure out who signed the ball? That video the comments are disabled.

    Thanks for making this video! I tried so hard to get down there for a day from Madison, WI, but just couldn't make it happen. Hopefully one day though! Do you think it's worth it to buy modern (2018 & 2019) boxes at places like that, or is there little price variation?

    I always love your posts guyz! I actually get a little jealous sometimes from the stuff you've been able to pick up over the past year I've been watchin ya (e.g: oh man the stuff in Ohio u bought was unreal at the prices u got em for!) hahaha! My question is: do you guys keep some/most of the cards u get for your own collections, or do u basically buy & sell? I've been in & out of the card business since i was about 8 years old.. All the best & continued success to you!
