Looking forward to seeing you there.
I took a members Advise and already booked Wednesday thru Saturday to stay at Lowe’s Chicago Ohare Hotel
And as I was looking it looked like some of the hotels were already getting full so start making reservations now. Nice thing about this hotel you can cancel until the day before and no penalties

Awesome! It's on my calendar. Haven't been to the National since 2019 so really looking forward to it.

Who can worry about the national in 2023, when we have Mile High, REA, LOTG, and Heritage all ending in August of 2022, followed immediately by Memory Lane??!!!

I don't see anyone being worried. I am just excited about having another party at the National. This thread will die soon and then in about 10? months we can talk about it again.
But to your point, lots of great items up for auction.

Looking forward to meeting some members then. Hoping it will be my first national. I usually have drill during national but will be retired by this time next year.

Thanks
Chad

This, I'm sure, will be the best news of the Chicago National. Thanks!

I think I recognize a couple of those dogs from either the pool hall or the poker table.

Hard to read in the lower right corner of the card, but is anyone else concerned that dog food was manufactured in the same city that was the epicenter of cereal manufacturing? I sure hope they did not mix up the kibble with my Captain Crunch when I was a kid.

Default How long to stay?
I’ve never attended before, but I am thinking about going to Chicago next year. For those of you that have been before, how long do you suggest going? Are there certain days that are better then other days to be there? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Ryan,

Not worried about it and not worried about the cards at the show. I booked because the rooms are already filling up and I want to be close vs having to stay far.( and can always cancel the reservation if something changes in my schedule)

Also I want to book it because I enjoyed the experience and enjoyed meeting members of the forum and many dealers.
I was prepared to go to the 2022 National and not buy any cards with all the auctions and selections but when I went my addiction took over and I made a couple of purchases.
As for all the current auctions I will have to let my addiction vs my budget be my guide.

Thanks for the info Jeff. I am now booked at Loews from Wed-Sun and look forward to meeting some of you. The last Chicago National was my first. Although a bit overwhelmed, I really enjoyed it. I checked out Hilton properties with their app and it is showing that most are already sold out. Last time, I stayed at Aloft, which was a short walk from the convention center. It was fine, but wanted to try something different this time.

Because of what I collect and the relative affordability ....I always go on Wednesday and Thursday...and usually leave earlier than expected. I can't tell you how many times I get messages from some collecting friends that go on the weekend and they say "Man...every autograph table I went to say they sold all of their X and X already"...knowing it was me ....or how many times early on Wednesdays I see guys digging through 68 Topps pulling out all of the Tigers.

I can usually clear out the place on Wednesday of 90& of what I am focused on...then use Thursday to re-trace and dig for my second tier stuff in the bargain bins or higher end 50's stuff.

Already have a place at Aloft (Free airport shuttle and 8 minutes walk from the center) for 2 nights...if I extend I will be sure to stop by the party Leon (Thanks)...would be great to meet a bunch of the board members!

What kind of get together is something like this? Drinks and cocktail hour type deal? Spread your cards out on a table like a trade night? Strippers and cocaine?

It will be an rsvp party for all net54baseball members and family.
It will be a 6 hour open bar with soft drinks and beer. Not sure about mixed drinks yet. There will be pizza and a few other snacks. Usually there's been a few speakers too....that's about it.

Embassy Suites appears to be all booked

Is there a chance they are holding rooms for the time being, making rooms available at a later date?

In the past you’ve been able to make reservations through a third party website Conference Housing that you access thru The National webpage. I just checked the page and it says hotel information will be posted this Fall

So yes I imagine many of the hotels have pledged rooms through this site. Maybe dealers get first crack at these rooms through a specific date?
