Default Your #1 acquisition at this year’s national

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to go for several years, but i am curious as to what you guys picked up.

1. Your favorite pick up?

2. Most expensive pick up?

My #1 pickup was actually for my Son. After several days of finding way overpriced, slabbed Bo Bichette autograph cards at prices I would only pay for vintage hall of gamers or possibly Judge, Trout, or Ohtani, I finally fought him a 2017 Bowman Tek Bichette auto for $55. It's his first Bichette auto and he loves it.

Hopefully that will be one he keeps.

I remember me and another member here(yourmyboyblue) opened a box of 89 upper deck i got a nice griffey. Straight to bgs with my group sub and it cane back a 9.5, to this day I still have it and will never get rid of it

Bo is his favorite player, so I'm sure he'll keep and remember that one forever.

My Favorite and most expensive pick up was an NT Anthony Davis Rookie auto #/199.
I've been wanting to get one for years and was finally able to treat myself to one

Looking for Andre Dawson Serial numbered cards that are his jersey number - either #8 or #10. So looking for cards like 8/8 or 08/99 or 10/250.

Need to make sure we are on the same page here and that we are discussing cards…

TBP did point to me yesterday and say, “pull it out” while in a gaggle of dudes.

Only picked these two up. I was also looking for a 1984 Topps Mattingly in PSA 10 but was unable to locate one.

Nothing special, but I'm going to frame this pic so i always remember the minutes long line to get on the escalator. Apparently collectors need a tutorial on "stairs"

After walking miles and miles all week, I see no issue taking a break and using the escalator.

I took multiple Ubers .6 miles because it was 95 outside and I had been on my feet all day.

If you and the rest were taking the sky bridge and not staying in the hotel behind the convention center, there’s another escalator that provides a shortcut to get back across the street.
