Still cataloging cards from Rosemount

I'm still extremely happy with my pickups from that weekend,
but like my collection as a whole, I still have not gotten
everything cataloged.

Some favorites from these pickups:

  Lee Smith         1983 Donruss Cubs      [HoF]       
  Remainder of the  1983 Topps   Cubs      team commons
  Remainder of the  1983 Topps   Cardinals team commons
  Sammy Sosa Rookie 1990 Score   White Sox 
  Bobby Cox         1969 Topps   Yankees   [HoF]
  Nico Houerner     2020 Topps   Cubs      Rookie
  and just so many cards that I needed in my 1983, 1970 and 1969 sets
 

I was surprised to hear that 2023 nationals had the largest turn out in the conv long history. The NSCC does not release official attendance numbers, but the 2023 Rosemount IL card show is believed to have attracted more than 100,000 attendees, surpassing the 1991 show in Anaheim, Calif. for the largest of all time in it's long history.

My understanding is that next year is in cleavland and then back to Chicago Area in 2025.

Card Collectors Nationals! I made it!

2023 was the year I finally make the Nationals. I had so many expectations, and the size of this "card show" was greater.

I purchased 324 cards, yet I feel I should have walked away with more. I was able to find cards at better prices than I have had the opportunity in years.

Here is a simple breakdown of my purchases in Rosemount IL
