National sports collector convention chicago 2017 - The More The Merrier

[doniceage]

Will be back again this year, but I'm hoping that the VIP autograph names that are yet TBA are a little stronger before I buy into the VIP package again... Gary Beban again? Really? Pat Zachry? I hoping the next few are a little more enticing.[/URL]

I can understand not wanting guys you already got autographs from before. As far as quality goes you cannot expect much from the VIP bag when your getting free cards, entry into the show that like $20 a day, then parking pass, plus the vips autos it quite a bargain imo.

I'm taking my 5 y/o daughter Saturday morning (she's going to look for a Todd Frazier card) and then after lunch I'll head back myself. Let me know if you need food recommendations.

I agree 100%. The VIP package is not cheap, and it would be nice to see different names, or players that had good careers. I understand ROY players, but when the best thing you can say about a player is that he made one all-star game, such as Steve Trachsel, Ron LeFlore, or is best known for wife-swapping (Fritz Peterson), I'm not too excited.

I will be walking from my hotel to the show. Will have a car so we can travel. Just know I hate the chicago driving lifestyle lol. Usually I have a buddy pick me up to go out to a place or two for a nice place to eat. LMK hear your suggestions.
