I'd compare this to the beach patrol removing a jelly fish from the water that just stung someone while there are dozens of great white sharks circling around with their dorsal fins in plain view and then telling the people it's safe to swim now.

Now now as Lichtman explained these things take time. Surely the fruits of 2008 are just around the corner.

Default National
I agree...these things take time.

However, regarding cards & prices....I am wondering if there is a good selection of cards at the National; and further, if the prices are what most would anticipate. eBay & their new policies seem to have skewed the collecting market such that I do not find as much of the "hard to find" cards on eBay auctions anymore.

It seems like the harder to find cards can only be found through auction houses or inflated BIN prices. Just my opinion.

Default Upcoming auctions?
Did anyone see any spectacular cards coming up for auction at the major auction house tables?

In this day of everyone having a camera on their cell phone, where are the pictures or video? Speaking as one of the poor unfortunates that couldn't attend, I'd like to at least get my fix by seeing some pics. Anyone?

Hey, don't ask me -- I fight the government every day. Far be it for me to explain away their incompetence. Regardless, I'm just happy the orphans are being cared for.

Good point Peter. I filed an IC3 complaint in July 2009 and still haven't received a response from the FBI. I'm sure I'll hear something anyday now - probably Monday.
