Somehow I missed it Do you remember how much they were asking?

Are Sweet Caporal pins and other vintage pins plentiful?

How much boxing stuff is at these shows?

It wasn't marked and I didn't ask. Sorry

I went and didn’t find anyhthing for the PC but still walked away happy with what I bought. I got a few good prices because I spent a lot at certain tables so it was around eBay pricing. Not everything will be great deals and certain items you have to be willing to pay a little more.

Completely agree, the National is definitely a worthwhile experience. Even though I didn’t hit my primary needs, I did find plenty of other cards for my PC. Plus I was able to sell some high end items without the worry of the usual online shenanigans. Some of the proceeds from sales at the National already landed me a Satchel Paige autograph on eBay so it all worked out in the end.

Didn't see a whole lot of SC pins, but there seemed to be quite a good supply of vintage boxing stuff. More than I expected to see.

My main wants were incredibly targeted and specific. I filled a few, but not a lot-- but I didn't come in expecting to either. But I did help a friend fill a bunch at least, and found some fun non-Want-List items.
