I suppose it is possible those using the pluralized version might actually be at a game where the Washington Nationals are playing, no?

Back to cards. I'll provide a report once I return over the weekend.

Kind of like the former member here, who liked to use "we" all the time, instead of "I".

We resent being referred to as a former member. We would be careful if we were you. The last time we were impugned in such a malicious fashion, we threatened Archive with legal action, and that has kept said bottom dweller quiet. Not a peep from that burger flipping miscreant since.

Reporting in from my first day.

All I can say is wow. Got to the show a little bit later, around 11 AM, but had no trouble navigating. Prices are all over the place, booth to booth. I saw a 1953 Topps Mantle, that was slabbed an "a" that one dealer wanted $3000 for. On the flipside I saw another in an older GAI Slab for $1600. You definitely need to know what your looking for along with fair market value.

I was able to pick up some more low number 1952 Topps Commons, which I was happy about. Was also able to purchase a nice 1969 Topps Mantle, Yellow Letter, from Howard.

Used today as more of a scoping things out sort of day, with a couple of purchases. Definitely looking forward to tomorrow, when I get there bright and early!
