Of course the 1991 Anaheim was followed almost immediately by an industry crippling crash...

Not hardly. 1992 was a better year than 1991. 1993 & first half of 1994 were just as good if you were doing basketball. The baseball strike in 1994 was the crippling crash.

Tri-Star has a nice group of signers. Hoping I can afford a couple this time. Even these guys want huge prices. I remember the 90's when I could get Musial and Aaron for $40. Dawson was a show freebie. Pricing comes out tmmrw.

As someone who hasn’t been to any show whatsoever since maybe about 1992 and just recently got back into collecting (mostly relatively affordable raw HOFers), I assume I would be in way over my head to jump back in at the National, and that there probably wouldn’t be much for me in terms of deals. Does that sound right?

Because I live in Chicago anyway, so there’s a part of me that says what the hell, it might be fun to check it out, see some ridiculously expensive cards and maybe meet some people.

You should go anyways. There are dealers who go to sell cards and price their stuff accordingly.

I usually feel regretful after a few hours of cruising the floor at the national from a standpoint that I could have bought this...or I could have bought that from the comfort of my home for what it cost to fly and lodge.

The allure of the national is seeing/hanging w/hobby friends...seeing great cards at the auction house displays/certain dealers that are way out of my league price wise...possibly getting cards/items graded on the premises...and looking for oddball items and raw cards in bargain bins.

If you want certain things...and don't mind overpaying for them...it's a must attend!!!

My son and I are planning on driving down to the show on Friday or Saturday. We had a great time at the last National we attended and we are planning on having a great time at this one.
