I had two goals today at the National:
Meet Gregg Jefferies, and pray for a TLS winner.
Lucky enough to accomplish both.. Wow.

Will Topps replace a card with this poor centering? 6 of my 20 were like this. They did replace 1 that was even worse than this.

BH34 · 08-04-2018, 12:09 PM

Just met Ms. Seto, she was kind enough to sign my Lindor card. This day is unbelievable..

Very cool!

jdandns · 08-04-2018, 12:56 PM

Freshly inked super-clean autograph on a very recently printed card. That's an Ebay 1/1 for sure!

Congrats!

Jeeves said off centered cards would not be replaced, just damaged cards.

Congrats!! That is what the National is all about. I've been to three and have fond memories similar to this from every one of them. Dating back to the first one I went to in '92 in Atlanta.

I was at that Atlanta National. I still have a lot of the promo cards that’s were given away.

Has anyone dealt with cardboard dynamite? I think he is on the board. Bud, why don’t you ever reply to offers and just let them expire? Kinda rude. Move on and let me spend my money somewhere else.

I was 9. I was clueless. But I went with a small-time dealer and his son (my friend) who was a huge autograph collector. I could not afford any but I got to walk through the lines and shake hands of some absolute legends. Mantle and DiMaggio were there. Several others too. It was something I'll never forget.

BH34 · 08-04-2018, 02:12 PM

I guess I have an "extra" one now!

You got to keep the tickets too, nice.
Glad she signed the prints and your 2nd living card with the thinner blue pen, it looks better.
Are the prints numbered - like the tickets were?

Great haul of Living for the weekend! (And nice that they had toploaders ready for the prints, or did you have to pick some up?)

I wonder if the Lindor prints will be the first in a more regular line?

jdandns · 08-04-2018, 02:39 PM

Wow, incredible luck!

(I used to have that seemingly yearly at Comic-Con at the Artbox booth with their Harry Potter card giveaways.)

The last National I went to was in Anaheim, CA, probably coming up on 20 years ago now. I had a blast. I wish it would come back to the West once in a while, but I get why it's in the East since that's where most of the collectors are.

I bought the top loaders separately, just a few booths over.
She was so gracious, signed a few TLS boxes and my Gleybers.
And I thought I couldn't love TLS any more than I already did!

I should have went with one complete set and have her sign all 60 cards. lol

poppincurbs · 08-04-2018, 04:43 PM

Did she end up signing for everyone? Got busy and missed it

Great experience thanks for sharing and congrats

scottagibson · 08-04-2018, 06:57 PM

I bought a few autographed prints from the guy selling on Ebay. After sending him a message... He did not know that you could keep the redemption tickets. That means that 8 (at least) do not have the redemptions with them. Kinda bummed about that for some reason... but atleast I am getting the prints!

vtgmsc · 08-04-2018, 07:49 PM

My buddy had breakfast with her at the GTS gathering. He only had 2 Jeters and a Jackie Robinson on him (not too bad) and she signed all 3 on the back. She said she does not like to sign the fronts! I guess she changed her mind when she got to the Topps booth! She lives in China so she will not be an easy autograph!

Happy to have a Jeter and Jackie signed for my sets as he gave me those 2!!!

Peace, Mike

BH34 · 08-04-2018, 08:00 PM

Just got back home.

Yes, Ms. Seto did wind up signing for everyone, including those who didn't win the print. There were a few guys with Stacks of TLS, including a guy who had 30+ slabbed, and got them all signed.

I do wish I had the foresight to bring some extra TLS cards with me.. I didn't bring any whatsoever.. Zip, zilch, nada.
I just really didn't think I would win, let alone encounter a situation where it would turn into a full blown open autograph signing session.
I was fortunate to find someone selling some Gleybers close by. I overpaid for them, on top of already owning 20+ Gleybers at home, just to make sure I wouldnt feel like I "missed out".. on the autos.
In reality, winning the prints and just getting to meet her was more than enough.
It was an amazing experience, to say the least.
Hopefully topps does this every year!
