It was huge and I would say at least twice the size of the Expo's in Toronto. But I think you would be better served going to the expo whereas they are 85% Hockey and 15% all others. Where the National is more Baseball & Football. You had to find the hockey dealers and they mostly had GU'd & Autos more than the inserts from what I saw.
so maybe better to make a trip up to the Toronto show, instead?

Yes without a doubt. Deals are better in Toronto than here. Plus if you have never been Toronto is a fun town. HOF, Gretzky's Restaraunt, Yonge Street etc... You will have better luck finding what you need there and more to choose from. JMO
I have been to the last 3 Nationals in Chicago and I am a bargain box hound and I will say it is far and few between to find any hockey worth writing home about. I really only hit the .10-.50 boxes but I spend all 4 days doing it and come home with more than I can handle but very little is hockey! I would say you are much better off checking out the Expo in my opinion.

been to Toronto a few times, but it's been a while.. would be nice to go see the HHOF again. I'll plan on a Toronto trip then.. thanks for all the help (everyone)!
too bad i couldn't go but down the road
Phil by the way, go to Expo if you want hockey I hate to say it but you will get more selection hockey wise compare to national from what i been told from folks that go to both
