Nice. Wonder how that got in there. No snakes where I was. Ended up buying a couple boxes, did the panini wrapper redemption, got a nice Julio Jones donruss card numbered to 10. Also got a Knowshonn Moreno autographed 8x10. Boxes were decent. And I only bought one card, because it ate the rest of my money. It's one that was on my top two to get. It's the Derrick Rose/Towes/Alexei Ramirez triple auto /25 from upper deck.

Pretty good show. If I had more money, I'd go back tomorrow.

Great show so far got some really nice cards and got to meet some cool athletes! Also seen some cool peeps from a few sites, glad to put some faces to the
Names!!

for the panini redemption, do you open your packs there once you buy them from someone else...and give them the wrapper, then they give you the redemption packs??

also...since you guys are opening boxes there, what do you do with all your base cards??? carry around a backpack of 200 count boxes??

[gladdyontherise]

You open the box at their booth and they give you the redemption packs as you open up the box..

I opened my Topps case at the hotel last night so left them there, but I have a 3500 count box i've been putting my stuff in so I don't have to carry everything around

Looks like I'm headed back to the national again today thanks to panini. Yesterday I bought one last box for wrapper redemptions as they told me they'd do it again later. I got back and they said come back tomorrow. Not cool. So I went home, saw they had a picture of me doing the wrapper redemption on twitter and i mentioned I got that last box and couldn't redeem, and now they're getting me in for free. Hells yeah

[Dacubs?]

very cool...good luck with the redemptions
