Default What are you looking for at the National?

Let's use this thread to help each other!

I'm looking for high-end, low numbered, super rare only, Hamidou Diallo RC's only. He's no longer in the NBA so, please keep prices reasonable! He's a bargain bin player!

Happy to pay a small finders fee if you see/lead me to his logoman auto and I buy it!

Not looking for anything quite so rare but I'm really trying to hunt down some specific 90s/2000s cards. Didn't have a ton of luck last year but hoping a little more focused list will help.

If anyone spots any of these (or if you have one your looking to move at the show) let me know.

- Any and all rare late 90s Chipper Jones parallels/inserts: 1997 & 1998 Ultra Platinum Medallion are at the top of the list right now.
- 1998 Flair Showcase Row 0 Greg Maddux
- 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig & Rogers Hornsby
- 1957 Topps Frank Robinson
- 1934-6 Diamond Stars Hank Greenberg
- 1997 E-X Cut Above Juan Gonzalez
- 1996 Pinnacle Skyline Frank Thomas

Same thing as last year basically I have 6 pages of wrestling cards that I need to finish some base and insert sets so it is very low end. If the last two years are any indication I should at least getting 100-150 cards for that. So don't be afraid to bring your cheap recent stuff. Also looking for a Stephanie Vacquer base rookie that isn't going to cost more than $60. These ebay prices on her

Other side things is West Virginia football and basketball programs (still need the 88 Fiesta Bowl) and for the smart people who organize their stuff other PC stuff

All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

I have a list of about a dozen "must buys" but I love finding things I didn't know I needed. I bought an Eddie Mathews ball at the show in 2023 and that started an addiction to collecting everything Milwaukee Braves. I also learned how fast money can disappear when hitting every other bargain box booth.

I'm too cheap to buy the stuff I really want, so it's looking through bargin bins and just finding cards I think are cool to have/look at

and trying to strike gold with any redemptions...although I didn't like the offerings 2 years ago, and spent most of my money buying Tristar mystery memorabilia

Main goal for pickups are as follows:

1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 8/8.5 - centered better than 52/48 each way

1956 Mantle PSA 8.5 well centered. Have a couple of 8’s and a PSA 5 that are well centered, and sold a couple of 8.5’s years ago and would like to upgrade again.

1957 Mantle PSA 5-6.5 centered.

I’ll probably be bringing a few cards to sell and trade, and some are modern and others are vintage. Have a few Johnny bench cards from 1968 to 1971 that or PSA eight or better, couple of Mantle’s, and A couple of Mahomes Optic holo rookie’s in PSA 9.
