Going to the National - got questions
So I assume there's at least a few lurkers out there that have been to
the National before. I'm headed to my first ever, driving out to Cleveland next week. Anyone actually pay the exorbant amount of money they charge for autographs there? I'm going just for the show. How's the prices on singles, packs, and boxes? Cheaper than around local shows/shops? Also, should I bring a lot of cash or does almost every take credit card there? Is 8 hours (one day) enough to see the whole show? Do dealers bring their commons or just lots of high priced singles and boxes? |

You should find all kinds of stuff there. It is always a great show and
after going to 1 you won't be able to wait til next years. Cash is king! There are ATMS but if you have a limit just bring $. People do credit cards gladly but you never know who you may meet in the hallway or parking lot or back at a hotel. My understanding is also the the public can get in on Wednesday this year so that may be the day to go for best selection. Sunday will be blowout day as normal if anyone is there : ) You can do the show in a day but if you have never been to something like this you may need 2 days especially if you are getting some things graded during the show. If you have any other ?'s please post! Only 2 weeks 2 go! "Scott Henrichs" wrote in message ... So I assume there's at least a few lurkers out there that have been to the National before.

Uh no, this would be sports cards. I believe there are pokemon
newsgroups for discussing pokemon cards. mewthree wrote: i assume this is pokemon cards you are talking about? please tell me about this national. "pkstore2" wrote in message .. .

& first edition US boxes in Atlanta years ago for a friends store back home. The stuff still sells. Where as i am into late 1800s stuff many people want new stuff. Have fun! 1 week 2go!
