36th National Sports Collector Convention in Chicago 2015 (who is going)?

[TurdFerguson]

Lmk how it works. Not played wit it yet.

Don

I don't know if I like it or not. It's not just an app exclusive to the 36th National. It's an app for all kinds of events. Plus, I'm getting notifications now when someone else joins and there doesn't seem to be any options to turn that off so I might just end up uninstalling the app.

Don

Yes, he'll be there and I'll be there with my dad Don.

AJ

Yeah, sorry Don. I didn't see you had asked me if I was coming for sure, AJ just told me he replied. AJ asked everyone that came to his birthday party last month for money so he could get a VIP pass for the show, so we'll be there all 5 days. We might end up spending some time at your booth if you don't mind since I'm sure our feet will be sore after all of that walking. We just want to make sure he gets all of the autographs from the VIP package. He even mentioned that maybe he can get a couple in person trades done like he did a couple years ago at your booth.

I know he did a trade with Zach he will not be setting up but JFRIED will be with 2 others. I will be bringing a few customs shoes along with a few dozen custom cards that will be sure to attract some attention. Have fun getting all the auto's and look forward to seeing what you guys get autographed.

Nothing like a little bday money to get your birthday wish.

We won't be getting anything special signed, just cards that I already have or that my dad has dug out from his cards. There's a bunch of the non VIP signers I want to get but they are way too expensive.

Cool on the cards. A lot of the signers are crazy in their prices. Probably would cost $10,000 or more to get all the auto's.

2015 National Advance VIP Instructions

Congratulations on becoming a 36th National VIP. We hope you are looking forward to having a great time in Chicago. Since the 36th National Sneak Peek is coming up very soon, we would like to provide you some information which will make your National Experience even better.
First things first – you will need to make sure you have your printed e-ticket with you to pick up your VIP credentials at the show. The National begins for VIPs with the Topps VIP Reception at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, 7/29. Please note the time. We will begin distributing VIP credentials at Noon on Wednesday. Enter the Convention Center using the Main Lobby. Look for the Kiosks which say VIPS WITH TICKETS. At that kiosk, your ticket will be scanned and you will receive your VIP badge, your VIP Gift Bag, your VIP Autograph Tickets plus an information packet which has all you need to know for the week. If you come in on Wednesday afternoon, you will be directed to the Topps VIP Reception which will be held in Room 14 at the Convention Center. Your VIP badge is required for entry. There will be light refreshments, prize drawings and Pierre Pilote, Rollie Fingers and Bret Saberhagen will be signing free autographs for VIPs from 3-4 PM. At 3:30 PM, VIPs will be permitted on the Show Floor to enjoy the Memory Lane 36th National Sneak Peek until 8PM. Tristar Productions will have items on sale at the Party if you need something for these players to sign.
If you are unable to pick up your VIP credentials on Wednesday, the procedure is still the same. VIPs will have access to the show each morning Thursday-Sunday at 9:30 AM. Signs will direct you to the VIP entrance from which you can enter the Show each day.
SPECIAL INFORMATION ON SUPERVIP PARKING PASS
If you purchased a SuperVIP admission, it includes free week-long parking at the Rosemont Public Parking Garage, located across from the Convention Center entrance between the Doubletree and Embassy Suites Hotels. You will pull a ticket when you enter the garage on the first day you attend the National. You are not expected to pay until leaving the garage. When you get to the Convention Center, you will receive your parking pass when you present your valid SuperVIP Ticket at the VIP Kiosks in the Lobby of the Convention Center. You will then use the Parking Pass to exit and enter the garage all week. DO NOT PULL A FRESH TICKET UPON ENTRY BUT USE YOUR SUPERVIP PARKING PASS FOR BOTH ENTRY AND EXIT ALL WEEK. Only one parking pass will be issued per SuperVIP so please make sure to take care of it.
If you purchased an All Access admission, you will receive a separate additional Tristar envelope with all the credentials and information for that package.
Please go through your VIP materials carefully when you receive them. There are many great offers included and some of the VIP items require you to visit a sponsor booth in the Corporate Area.
The National Sports Collectors Convention, Inc. is pleased to offer attendees a new mobile app which should make the National experience even better. The free online app has detailed information including a schedule of events, an area map, sponsor list, exhibitor list, autograph schedule and more.
