Going to my 1st National this year
I plan on attending the National this year in Chicago. As it will be my first, I'm wondering... - How many days should I attend? I am not really interested in the box/case breaks or autographs, just want to take a good look at the items for sale.
- Should I consider the VIP tickets? Are they worth it?
- Should I stay near the convention and visit Downtown, or vice-versa?
- Any other recommendations? Or is it really just a giant version of my local card show?
I'm not a dealer/seller, just a collector who's been away for 30+ years and getting back into the hobby. Today I would say I collect 1934 Goudey, 1954 Topps hockey and mid-grade (PSA 4-6ish) pre-1970 baseball and hockey HoFers.
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated! Dave
