My Chicago National Itenerary.
I'm leaving for the National Sports Collectors Convention tomorrow. I don't have much planned, but here's what I KNOW so far.
TUESDAY
I'm driving to Chris Thomas' house outside of Cleveland and we'll be carpooling it to Chicago. I'm crashing at his place Tuesday night.
WEDNESDAY
The Philadelphia Union just happen to be in Chicago for a match that evening, and I already have tickets. You're more than welcome to tag along, if only for the pre-game Bearfights. Probably not going to that actual show since it opens around 4:00 and the game is at 9:00.
THURSDAY
This is the first day where I can definitely say I will be on the floor. I shouldn't be all that hard to pick out in a crowd. I'll be over by the quarter boxes.
Topps and Freedom Card Board are both having meet-and-greets, and I will be attending both. Lots of booze will be flowing, and with all those bitter collectors, this should get ugly.
FRIDAY
Not sure if I'm going to the cardshow, or to the Cubs game (they're playing Cincinnati that afternoon). I'll get back to you.
SATURDAY
Chris Thomas has to be back in Cleveland on Sunday night, so after the show, we're driving back a day early; but we will be on the floor. Besides, if Sunday is anything like previous Nationals, I won't be missing much.
Of course, I'll be updating this Stale Gum throughout the week and I'll also be On The Twinkah, if you're into that.

The Loaded Target "H" Loosey Conspiracy.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Chris Harris is NOT a pack searcher; he just plays one on YouTube.
If you want to know what the "secret" is, there are ways to figure it out.

As if you needed another reason to attend The National
See this?
This is a 33-year-old, rock-hard, slab of gum. (Some might call it Stale, but I'm above that.) This piece of gum was recently acquired by me, directly from Topps inside an unopened wax pack of 1978 Topps Baseball.
On Saturday afternoon, August 6th, on the floor of the National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemont, Illinois, I will attempt to consume this third-of-a-century piece of gum.
No, I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. But my doctor said I wasn't getting enough BHT in my diet.
