Sorry it didn't work out better for you. I did notice the rash of 2010-12 cards at the National around here as well. I usually skip those tables. They might have some good stuff, but not nearly enough to warrant me spending a good half-hour digging through them.<br /><br />I can't believe the ATM broke down. That seems like the one area you'd think the show's owners would have a handle on. Especially with all the high-end cards that swap hands at the National. <br /><br />If you can, I'd recommend going back tomorrow. Some dealers start to mark down items the last couple days to unload inventory. You might get a steal that you couldn't have found yesterday.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-62524295778831257972014-08-01T17:58:31.059-04:002014-08-01T17:58:31.059-04:00The ATM thing really put me in a bad mood.

They had been working when I passed them earlier in the day, but were down at 4:45 or so - there were just a couple things I wanted to pick up, probably less than $30 total. Cash is king, but I didn't want to be carrying a ton of cash with me all day. Overall, it was a great experience. <br /><br />It'll probably be at least 2018 before I get to another one - Chicago and Atlantic City are a little too far for my budget.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854315904173219584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9108520133795628754.post-64626944526465243712014-08-01T17:50:25.907-04:002014-08-01T17:50:25.907-04:00A Ferris wheel in the hall?

What a bummer.<br /><br />Thanks for the breakdown and the pictures. I'm going to try hard to hit the National when it returns to Chicago.P-town Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437348006643978055noreply@blogger.com
