Running National newbie question thread

[RaidonCollects]

Hi,

I attended my first National last year and it was great.

I also recommend a 1-day pass, if he wants to come back you get buy a pass the next day.

I'm sure as a sports fan he will be able to appreciate the stuff on display. Auction companies show 100,000s of dollars of cool memorabilia, some of which might interest him.

Last National you had the opportunity to hold a Ruth game-used bat, which was really great, I'm not sure if that's coming back this year.

Maybe I'm biased as I am a Jersey guy, but I think there is a lot of history in AC that is fascinating. Great boardwalk. Yes, a lot of crazies but still fun. Then the casinos. And there is a beach if you want to kick back. And outlet stores. And other stuff. Fascinating piece of Americana. Don't be afraid to walk around. My wife has no interest in gambling but loves the place. Read a book about AC first. A place with a lot of really unique history. See Boardwalk Empire.

I agree, a 1 day pass can potentially spark an interest

If he's a sports fan who would go to a sports museum, then the convention will suit him fine. It will be not unlike a huge museum exhibit, with many rare historic pieces on display, game used, photos, spectacular advertising pieces, etc. The big auction houses have on display spectacular, unique historical pieces, such as historic home run balls, Babe Ruth jerseys, etc.
