Me: "I will go to the National and only buy things that I can easily pack home and will stay focused on my wantlist."

Goofing here @lotgauctions.bsky.social with the card of @olbermann.bsky.social and his CGC Wagner. It’s the most affordable Wagner card on the floor! #NSCC26

As a guy named Glidden from Wisconsin, it’s always a kick to find cards like this from Glidden, Wisconsin. #NSCC26 #CardSky

Large vending machine for trading cards of various kinds. The machine is called "Shop All Fans" and mentions Pokemon, Panini, and Topps as the brands inside. There are packs on about half of its interior vending shelves.

Checked out the T206 Wagner (under watchful security) & caught up with Sooz at CGC, who shaped this piece of #NSCC26. Inside baseball: the cert number on their "GEM MINT 10" photo frame isn't an actual cert; the "cert digits" describe its geographic location.

Graded T206 Wagner baseball card inside a display case outside the CGC booth at a convention center. A red light illuminates the card, a security guard watches from one side, and a CGC employee adjusts a large glass frame in the background.

A brunette woman and pale man, each wearing glasses, pose for the camera in front of the CGC company booth at a convention.

They just opened the doors for #NSCC26 and this guy’s right next to the Nothing Bundt Cakes snack stand, which must be an interesting thing to smell all week!
