Will anyone be giving a blow-by-blow account from the National this year?

I believe he said "what I estimate is 75% to 80% of total US inventory for sale"

not just total inventory

Thanks everyone for the fantastic national descriptions and I appreciate the entirety of it even if it isn't pre war. Great to get the big picture and details on all of it. You got me excited about Chicago next year

My awesome dad for all his help this weekend. I was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease after a nearly year long battle they finally figured out what it was. It has left me weak and tired and he has certainly picked up the slack for me. If I seemed aloof or stand offish to anyone this weekend I apologize. Again Love you dad and thanks for all of your tremendous help.

That really sucks Glyn. Hope they get you fixed up, Lyme disease took a very good friend about 3 yrs ago.

Sorry to hear this Glyn, so many times Lyme disease is diagnosed late which makes treating it a bit more challenging. Hang in there, hope you are on the path to a full recovery with no long term issues.

Best Regards,

Love Brian's pics of REA booth, can't wait for fall auction!

The Arizona Find OJs look fantastic, some nice cards mixed in there.

I understand, but there's no way even with that qualification.

Thanks to everybody for their reports. It's a joy to read your experiences as it does make me feel like I'm a part of it even though I'm not there.

One tidbit I found interesting is the lack of caramel cards. I guess a lot of people are stashing them in case another wave of caramel craziness comes around.

Wanted to add...what about Coupons? Any t213-1's, 2's or 3's out there?
