The 2025 National has come and gone. From Wednesday to Sunday, I searched a lot of boxes, got a bunch of stuff signed, waited in a lot of lines and smelled a lot of B.O. Still, I had a great time and met some all-time greats. The festivities started on Wednesday with the VIP Party signers. I had gotten autographs of Al Oliver and Bill Madlock before. I was down to a scant few cards of them, and am now pretty much cleared out. The above 1976 Hostess card came out of a stack that Max gave me a few years ago. I found it in a box not too long ago and was glad to get it signed.
I also had a 1981 Topps left over of Oliver and got it done, as well. I also had a few of the 2023 Pro Debut Bill Maslock. Those are cool cards and this one looks great signed.
Finally, I got Bill Cartwright on this card. This is a 1995 Topps Stadium Club that I picked up from Sportlots.
The VIP Party was packed, but this year they had food stations in each corner, which made getting food easier. The autograph lines didn't take too long, which was nice. The VIP Party was a good precursor to the show and a.sign that we were in for some crowds. Stick around for recaps from what else I got signed this year.
