I will be there- my son says I should get a t-shirt that says "PlayerPCCollector" on it so people can recognize me.

I would LOVE to but
I have no desire to
ever go to Chicago,
(Most dangerous
city in the USA)
and I can't do the
ride anymore due to
health. When they
have it in Atlantic
City in a few years
I plan to do that
one...if anyone
could grab me the
Press Pass NASCAR
promos I would
really appreciate
it...also any Star
Wars if they have
any. I'll cover the
price for them +
shipping or trade,
if you want to.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I haven't been to a national since they had it in Atlantic City back in the 80s. I'm sure things have changed since then but even then prices were extremely high due to high cost of tables. You won't get any bargains but it is still worth going to.

never been to one... havent been to any kinda card show in years, many years.. cant afford to go anyhow, despite my relative closeness to Chicago... and to those who say Chicago is the most dangerous city in the US, im not sure where you heard that, but the danger is mostly at night, on the south side.. mostly... yeah, its ridiculous, but a majority of those getting shot are gang members or someone in their community...

I am planning on
going. I have
purchased the Super
VIP ticket and
purchase 5
autograph tickets.
I used to go to
card shows quite
frequently but
haven't been to one
in years. Bill I
will contact you
after the National
about the Press
Pass set.

I've been to every Chicago National. Best advice is if you can go one day, make it Sunday. There are some real deals then as dealers don't want to haul it back.

it's fine.. im not fond of the south side of Chicago, and that's where a lot of that happens... i love the city of Chicago, though i don't get up there very often... I know most of the places i do travel there are pretty safe.. Ya just have to watch out for the beggars, they can be devious... not sure where exactly the convention center they are using is, but it should be fine.... Almost wish i could go, but I have too many things going on this next month...
