Live National Report Thread....

I saw that somebody had gone to the PSA Awards event. FREE?? Can anyone just line up and go in? Do you have to be a PSA member?

Also, my buddy who could not make it was invited to the Panini VIP event. Did anyone on here go to that and could you let me know if it was good time or not? Any freebies?

Thanks! mike

The PSA luncheon is free for Set Registry members. I think to get into the Panini VIP event you have to buy some ridiculous amount of their product at the show.

I know that there's still over a full day to go, but for those attending, what is the big item/story/trend at the National this year (i.e. the Old Mill Blue Back in 2012, etc...)? Thanks for all the reports!

Doug Allen smiling was the most unnerving thing I saw

Went to the National today with a pocket full of cash ready to spend. Came back home with a pocket full of cash. I don't mind paying a 10% premium or so for the convenience of buying in person, but most cards I got cash prices on were more like 30-60% over market value, some up to 100%. It's still worth the $20 entry fee and the time to check things out, but I'll do my card shopping elsewhere.

It's always interesting to watch the videos and see the same cards behind the glass cases that I've seen in person over the last 7-8 years. Often with the same price stickers and same amounts....
