I was in Washington DC a few days with my family. I got to go over to the show on thursday. Didn't know what to expect since my last National was in Ohio in the mid 1990's. I went over the whole show in about 6 hours, but not in major detail. There was a huge amount of cards.
Had a few pickups including Cobb(T206), Chesbro, Mantle, Williams.
The prices varied greatly from one table to the next. Some were very expensive. Example was I found some Orient Theatre cards at over $1000 each.
Did get to the Brockelman/Luckey table early on and met a few Net54 members including Leon. Members I met were very nice.
One interesting table was the SPORTING NEWS COLLECTION table, where there seemed to be an endless numbers of photographs, Type 1 and 2. Did acquire the Type 1 shown below.
Overall, was a good experience. Hope to go back next year.
