Posted By: <b>Adam</b><p>I know it is still some time away, but what is the best part of going to Nationals? I have never been but since I have been getting into the hobby a lot more that I used to be, it appears like it may be a lot of fun to go. Do people generally do a lot of buying / selling / trading there? <br /><br />I am pretty much only into T206s at the moment. Historically speaking (to the extent anyone knows), is there generally a lot of T206 buying / selling / trading possibilities at Nationals?<br /><br />Thanks very much for any insight before I book a trip to Cleveland! I also have to say that as a relatively "new"comer, I am very much appreciative for all I have learned from this Board.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Adam

Perhaps it was because there was less shiney stuff than at the last National I was at. As for the prices, I couldn't say, but Leon's table was a hub of activity)

You'll get to meet many of the other collectors/dealers from this message board !!! I've been to a couple of previous Nationals, but this will be my first time at the network 54 dinner !!! I can't wait !!!<br /><br />Alan

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>I know if I told my wife I was going to Cleveland for a card show she would immediately destroy my credit cards. I need a good excuse for the trip. I don't think going to a Net54 dinner is going to get me any closer to Cleveland...<br /><br />Peter

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Hi Guys,<br /> Leon's wallet looks a lot like George's on Seinfeld. It is so big he has to take it out when he sits down, so he won't be lopsided. I think he used it as his personal filing cabinet....Get this man a PDA and a moneyclip!!!<br /><br /> Be well Brian<br /><br />PS Or be like Kramer, who never carries cash.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Which hotel is the one most out of towners are choosing? I know Leon mentioned he and Scott B. were staying at one by the airport (?) and that it had a shuttle service to the convention (?) and several others mentioned that same hotel (but I'll be darned if I can remember the name).<br />Thanks.<br />tbob

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Steve- this is the first time I looked as this thread and saw your question, but Brian beat me to the answer (which I knew right away).<br /><br />So that trivia question is: what did George put in his wallet that finally caused it to rip apart and scatter all over the street?
