Via @Atherton32 ... Well, @Topps I think you may have a fan for life.

It's Saturday at the big show and today should be the busiest.

This year’s National Sports Collectors Convention kicked off with its VIP preview night on Wednesday and it was a busy one inside the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill., the last two days, too, It doesn't figure to let up as we've hit the weekend -- the most-visited dat of the show -- with a full slate of signers today and another full day of showtime on the show floor.

Of course, Booth No. 854, the home of BlowoutCards.com should be one of your first stops at the show, which runs through Sunday but there's plenty more to be seen at this one and you can see a sampling of it right here.

Via @RicFlairNatrBoy ... HULKAMANIA And The NATURE BOY!! SRO At The @nsccshow! WOOOOO! 💪🏻 @HulkHogan @TRISTAR1

Just getting to the show is part of the adventure, whether you’re a dealer or a collector, but that's already in the past. You can see a few highlights from those already on the floor in Illinois in our just-starting gallery below that we'll update throughout today.
