I am going again, I think this year doing the 5 day VIP...... just the basic VIP since there really is no special past that.

My experience in Chicago was that you could easily buy/trade/receive an extra VIP ticket for a guy from people out on the floor in the VIP area. I was fortunate enough to receive tickets form someone who couldn't use them all for doing him a favor and then I was able to throw some of those another persons way. It can easily be worked out if there is one guy you want

Ill be there for 5 days. NBROCK is right you can get extra vip auto tickets if you want them. ALot of Card only guys will unload them easy. Me and my buddy booked hotels last night, it will be his first show, what better place than the national

I am planning on going to the National Convention in Baltimore this year and am willing to take items for people for $20-25 over individual ticket prices (i.e if Cal Ripken Jr is charging $150 per item, I will take item for $170-175-extra monies will be used for shipping and my time). I think this is a fair price. Attendee lists is updated frequently and can be found here (http://www.tristarproductions.com/National/index.html); no prices have been listed yet; but I am just trying to gather feelers to see is interested. Please PM me and I will contact you as soon as prices are realeased. I prefer to take flat items only, but can discuss other items. I am also looking to obtain a Bruce Sutter Cubs jersey. Here are some ROUGH estimates of the prices (based off of other card show prices):
