ddearing at 2023 Chicago National - Booths 405, 407, 417, 419 - BUYING!!!

ddearing · 07-24-2023, 09:36 PM

I am looking forward to seeing many of my Blowout friends again at this year's national This year, my booths are split up a little more than usual, but the quality and setup will be similar to year's past.

Booths 405 and 407 will have approximately 150,000 $1 cards, all sorted by team as well as another 30-40,000 $4 cards, all sorted by team as well.

Booths 417 and 419 will have 25 showcases of mixed sports as well as a number of boxes of "value/discounted" cards. We are aggressively buying the entire show. We typically pay around 75% of comps for things we need and we are not that picky. Looking mostly for big name players that comp $100+ for our repackage product, but we can buy just about anything at the right price.

Other things that we are buying:

No Deals Under $20 each please. Have the count and total price when you get there please.

GAME USED and AUTOS - PAYING $1.25 each - they must be in professional uniform and be from 2021 or newer. 2020-21 basketball and hockey are fine. No sage, press pass, leaf, etc. Panini baseball is fine.

BASE CARDS / Inserts
Paying $0.50 each for any licensed card of: Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, Justin Fields

Paying $0.20 each for any licensed card of:
QB Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Kirk Cousins, Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott
RB Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Bijan Robinson, Joe Mixon, Tony Pollard, Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, Nick Chubb
WRJustin Jefferson, Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, Ja'marr Chase, Tyreek Hill, AJ Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Stefan Diggs, Garrett Wilson, Drake London, Jaylen Waddle
TE Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, TJ Hockenson, George Kittle, Dallas Goedert, David Njoku, Evan Engram, Kyle Pitts, Pat Freiermuth, Dalton Schultz, Darren Waller, Zach Ertz

We’ve got tons of those football players at our booth 300-302 for .10 or less
Feel free to come by and make some money by selling them to these guys!!!

hammerva · 07-25-2023, 06:03 AM

Found a lot of PC cards last year from these tables. Always love a table that group by team. Hope you have some newer 2022 football in those boxes

nabzy28 · 07-25-2023, 08:04 AM

Has to be one of the easiest deal makers in the business. Have sold a few lots to him over the years, here on the boards. Every time was quick, easy and fair.

tdbaseballcards · 07-25-2023, 08:08 AM

Hi Dan - What sports are you buying for the gu/auto? Are you looking for golf, wwe, ufc, nascar, etc?

Pgosier92 · 07-25-2023, 12:30 PM

Hey Dan!

What is the easiest way to sort bulk base for ya? .20 cards in one box, .50 cards in another?

jkampis · 07-25-2023, 03:02 PM

Dang, wish I knew your list before I started driving up. By any chance would you still be buying after the show? I’d be happy to ship you a lot of those football base in the ensuing weeks when I get back to my shop.

Chiwsox2005 · 07-26-2023, 10:06 PM

Easiest deal I've ever done in my life. Thanks Dan!

DARTHTOKER · 07-29-2023, 03:51 PM

Fastest easiest guy to sell to. Thanks Dan!

PoPCulture · 07-29-2023, 04:39 PM

I was finally able to meet Dan this week after all these years on here. Easiest deal and also easiest person to deal with even if we hadn’t made the deal. Thanks Dan, I’ll see you around Ajax sometime.

MrTibbs25 · 07-29-2023, 06:54 PM

Great experience. Dropped off a bunch of the base cards and made a deal on a couple of better cards I brought to the show. Looking forward to dealing with you again!

I wasn't able to make it to the National this year, but Dan's booth is a must visit!

Dan, are planning on writing a recap?

Would love to hear about your show experience.

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.
