Nationals Blog

[Enigma]

I going to try to post about the Nationals as much as I can. My plan is to do it while there as well as a recap each night. I hope to have pics uploaded as well as some videos (camera willing).

For anyone who can make it out there, we are in booth 737 directly between Dave and Adam's and Donruss. The Snack bar is directly in front of us if you need a point of reference. We have a water cooler, so if you are thirsty, come on by. Be sure to say hello as I'd like to take a picture with as many SCF members as possible.

Very cool thread Tony! I was hoping there would be an "official" SCF/Nationals thread. I really want to see and hear about everyone's experiences there. In fact, I will even add a link to this thread in my sig.

Bought two boxes triple threads, picked up a Sandy Koufax auto, David Ortiz auto, a Nolan Ryan auto, a Tony Romo auto, and out of the Donruss promo pack pulled a Matt Forte auto /10. Going back tomorrow for more stuff

First day is complete...

Wife and I got there around 12:30pm to finishing setting up. Noticed our chairs had been stolen, so had to track down some more. And of course, they were worse that the ones we originally had. We managed to finally finish setting up around 3pm, when coincidentally, Rick arrived for the show. After getting him all set up, the wife and I went to the VIP Lounge for the pre-show auto session. The lines were ridiculous. I went around while my wife stayed in line. When I got in the ballroom, it looked like a madhouse. They had the auto guests stationed in different areas, but it seemed like you had to choose which line you wanted to be in (instead of simply lining them up and you going from one to the next).

Anyhow, we left and went back to the show. Wife took some pictures while walking around the show. I managed to sneak away for a few minutes, mainly to pick up some of the redemptions. Got to meet some of the reps there and look forward to meeting more tomorrow. Should be interesting as tonight was the Sneak Peek...tomorrow, all heck breaks loose...

Anyhow, pics are upcoming...
