My third and final day of the 2018 National Sports Collectors Convention has come to an end. I spent most of it browsing the show floor and taking pictures of all the amazing items.
The first stop I made was to Chicagoland Sports Cards where I had them open a new case of 2018 Leaf In The Game Used Sports. I chose the box on the upper left corner. Boy did I pick a good one. One of my hits is a Babe Ruth/Shohei Ohtani dual relic #’ed 1/1!!! Like I mentioned earlier, I’ll go into full details about what came out of my boxes I bought in Cleveland once I get home. The scans will look nice.
At 5:30 p.m. Topps held their Q&A session. This was the first time I had ever attended one of these meetings. It was fun and educating to hear collector’s questions and concerns. Only (150) spots were available for this meeting. Everyone that attended the meeting received a specially made Francisco Lindor autograph #’ed/50. Not every card uses the same photo of Francisco Lindor either. At least (3) different photos were used. Here is a video of the entire Q&A courtesy of Sports Card News/Sports Card Radio.
Every collector should be able to attended at least one National. No show gets better than this. I’ll be heading home on Saturday. I’ve got a feeling the weekend will be very crowded.
This show was a blast. I got to meet some awesome people, take great pictures, get some autographs, and pull some cool cards.
