A Bevy of Pics from Day 1 of the National

This post is just to satisfy my need to pretend I'm actually there.  I've been gathering some of the best pics and articles/blog post I can find.  Check out some links below.

•  Sports Collectors Daily writes about Jesse Owen's gold medal that is for auction during the National.
• Dan Good at Beckett provides some Day 1 highlights.
• Sports Collectors Daily has even more post from the National: "VIP Bags, Free Autographs and Plenty of Stuff to See".  "VIDEO: First National an Eye-Opener for Young Arizona Dealer".  "VIDEO: 2013 National Convention Opens in Chicago".
• Panini America Recaps a Bustling Beginning to the 2013 National (Video and Gallery)
• Chris Olds at Beckett wrties, "At the National: Every direction you turn is a potential new discovery".

Now, here are more pics from the National.
