I must be crazy.

It’s been confirmed for a week now, but I still can’t believe that in one month’s time I’ll be in Baltimore attending my first National Sports Collectors Convention.

A lot of you East Coast collectors get out to the show every year or two.  But for me being from the West Coast, this really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  I mean, who travels across country for a card show? Seriously, who does that?!

I’m not rich.  And although  I love cards, I had a hard time convincing myself that this was a good decision.

But thankfully my wife gave me the final nudge and blessing.

The trip will be a bit of a mix between business and pleasure.

I’ll be enjoying myself for sure as I have some specific collecting goals I plan to handle while there.

But there’s also some writing assignments planned for the trip, some of which will be published here, and also elsewhere.  Details on that will be released later.
