Sunday, July 21, 2024, Civic Center, Orland Park, IL
I was set up and ready to go around 8:30 a.m. this morning. Not much doing in the room yet. Made me a little nervous. Late-arriving crowd. I just sat behind my tables for a while waiting for something to happen.
All at once I was busy. People at my tables, going through cards, cracking jokes, talking sports, the National, traveling... all sorts of stuff. Like Madison yesterday, I was busy in Orland early. Seems like all my sales came before noon. I sold a lot of stuff. Thank you everybody!!
One of my early sales was to former White Sox and Cubs pitcher Steve Trout who wanted a Joe Pepitone card, any Joe Pepitone. It was fun!
Then my buying streak ended in great form. I bought a ton of stuff! A huge thank you to Jimmy C., Jeff P., my guys with the vintage hockey, and my main man Carl. I went home with a haul today thanks to these guys!
Now my problem is I would like to price some of this new inventory for the National but I'm getting ready to leave for Cleveland in the morning. A lot of this new stuff will get priced after the National, unfortunately. Though, I am bringing some great stuff to Cleveland as I have been a busy beaver pricing cards for weeks and weeks.
I had to give Will and Joe and rain check on lunch today. I had to head home, unload the car, take a shower and meet my folks Downtown Chicago for dinner with Kolby, who turns 19 on July 25, while I'll be in Cleveland.
We had a wonderful dinner at Ron of Japan, a family favorite since the 1970's. Sorry, I accidentally butt-dialed Jeff Peterson after dinner. Sorry Jeff!
Crazy busy day.
Looking forward to Cleveland. Dave and I are in booth 1144. Come see us!
Reminder, we're back at it in Oak Creek right after the National on August 3, 2024. Dealer tables are sold out. I am going to have a tough time responding to messages while at the National. I'll try my best.
Woot!
National!!
