I think most people will not listen to what these show promoters are saying. They are not going to attend any shows this year, period! When thousands of people around you are getting sick and dying, are you seriously going to take that risk - over sports cards?
This year is EFFED! See you all in 2021!

This is from the Politico Newsletter this morning. Politico is reasonably well centered in how they report about Washington (they try to keep down the middle as much as possible)
- STAT: "Early peek at data on Gilead coronavirus drug suggests patients are responding to treatment," by Adam Feurstein and Matthew Herper: "A Chicago hospital treating severe Covid-19 patients with Gilead Sciences' antiviral medicine remdesivir in a closely watched clinical trial is seeing rapid recoveries in fever and respiratory symptoms, with nearly all patients discharged in less than a week, STAT has learned. "Remdesivir was one of the first medicines identified as having the potential to impact SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, in lab tests. The entire world has been waiting for results from Gilead's clinical trials, and positive results would likely lead to fast approvals by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies. If safe and effective, it could become the first approved treatment against the disease. "The University of Chicago Medicine recruited 125 people with Covid-19 into Gilead's two Phase 3 clinical trials. Of those people, 113 had severe disease. All the patients have been treated with daily infusions of remdesivir That's why David was talking about stuff moving overnight. I have no dog in this fight but he follows the market a lot closer than I do and this could be an important development. Rich

The stock broker isn’t telling anyone what to do. The stock broker was highlighting potentially very positive news for all of us.
I am very hopeful as a human they have success with these trials. Everyone should be.

Don’t really have a dog in this message board fight but diseases like this bring what’s important to the front. I’m deemed essential and I go home everyday praying I didn’t get it and that I don’t spread it to my family. Many topics end up on this page that honestly probably don’t fit the criteria for being here. Does it really need to escalate to the point of name calling and expletives? Dpeck, have no issue with what you did and I for one enjoy your posts.
Everyone please stay safe and healthy!

From my understanding, dealers are permitted to cancel and will receive a full refund. If I’m a dealer, this is a no brainer. Why would I incur all the expenses (travel, hotel, food, dealer fees) to set up at a significantly less populated national and risk obtaining the virus (through travel or at the convention)? The economic repercussions are only in the first inning. I don’t see the volume at the national this year. The lower volume does not justify the dealer fees which are based on an anticipated high volume. I predict a lot of dealers will cancel. I suspect a lot of expected attendees have already canceled. Not happening this year.

I have posted plenty of comments over the years where I expected heat and got it because I think for myself and post what I believe and don't follow the heard. Under no circumstances in my wildest dreams did I think my comment would be viewed as out of line or controversial hence the response.

I canceled my hotel reservation for the National today. I also canceled my hotel reservation for the Brimfield May show week.

I have never heard one collector tell me they are excited to spend a ton of money, take a week off of work and fly out to the National so they can see the stuff the auction houses have on display in their 5000 square foot carpeted booths with couches and free pens, taking up half the show floor.
The biggest problem with the National is it used to be a HUGE show without really any limits on exhibitor space and very few corporate entities. It would take you a full day just to walk the floor in a hurry. Now, it is extremely limited and most of the booths are corporate. You can now see the whole show, without even being quick, stopping at every actual dealer table with inventory for sale in one day easy. It went from 1000-2000 dealers to now MAYBE 300-400 dealers once you eliminate the auction houses. It has shifted from a show designed for the collector to one centered around the corporate entity which has killed it for most people. It is insane that they can sell out dealer space within an hour a year in advance and teall dealers "sorry we are full". If there are hundreds of dealers wanting to do the show and can't, which there are, make the show bigger. I know it is not a venue issue because the same shows used to be twice the size in the same venues (Rosemont and Cleveland). If they would go back to a collector centered event and not limit dealer space to make it "elite" and try to be like comic-con, it would have a huge following like it used to. It is sad to see something so loved by so many people basically become a corporate "look what we have coming up for you" event. It can easily be fixed, but their entire focus has shifted.
