Scenes from the Show … Before The National begins

Scenes from the Show … Before The National begins

This entry was posted on July 31, 2019 by BlowoutBuzz.

The Show of all shows is almost here.

On-floor preparation for The National is nearing its finale as the booths fill up inside the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. One of your first stops that you see here? Booth No. 854, the home of BlowoutCards.com for the show, which begins this evening and runs through Sunday.

But that’s not the only early scene seen so far …

Via @thosebackpages ... It's that time of year everybody! Look who’s joining me ...

Just getting to the event is part of the show-going adventure, whether you’re a dealer or a collector and you can see a few highlights (or mishaps) from those heading to Illinois in our just-starting gallery below. After today, we’ll compile new galleries from you guys daily.

Should your travel photo be seen here? Tag @BlowoutBuzz on Twitter and Buzz will add it. (Click for a closer look.)
