Launch Status: Aborted

Unfortunately, my plans for the Michigan trip and the National had to be cancelled.  I've been experiencing cyclical fever, fatigue and other symptoms for almost two weeks now.  I just wasn't going to be able to make the drive back and forth, and wade through all the crowds.  So I called it off.

The upside is, it probably saves me several hundred bucks in the short term, and lets me possibly get ahead of all the stuff that's piled up since I went the last time that I haven't put away yet.

But I really would have liked to be able to shop at some of the dealers that I only see there...

Preparing For Launch

Hopefully, in 24 hours, I'll be reporting from Michigan again.  Stuart and I will be starting another shop & show tour along with the trek to the National.  Barring crash, sickness, trampling, or robbery, I'll be back later with multiple posts on our visits and show loot.

I'll be primarily focused on my older vintage projects - '63 Topps, '50 Bowman, '61 Golden Press, '62 Post, and maybe if I'm really lucky, the last three '57 Topps guys named Aaron, Mantle, and Brooks Robinson.

I'm sure I'll find more new Jayden Daniels and Jordan Addisons too.  And I know one of the first dealers I'll go to is the insert guy at the far end of the first section.  Will try not to blow most of my cash on previous years' Heritage short prints....

Anyway, stay tuned...maybe I'll see you there!
