Does The National Still Happen This Year?

If it's in 95 degree heat with an approaching tropical storm, I know who the title sponsor would be...

Its going to be virtual like the Deans card museum listings

yes, should go on... mask for entry, tables set apart, social distancing not an issue in the cavernous hall... also if they can have all these protests and such without masks, national should be able to go on...now whether any one shows????

Dealers should sanitize their card holders after every single time they are touched. Is that really gonna happen? Sad to say, no way on National.

I think people are forgetting it’s currently scheduled to run Saturday to Wed...two weeks before Xmas.

Who would attend a show with this format on a Tuesday or Wednesday?

No chance it happens.

I really can't see any mass gatherings inside for at least one full year from now. It sucks but until there is a vaccine nobody is going to chance promoting or doing a show..

The last Dallas regional show in June was highly attended and buying and selling was very brisk, masks and all. There were people with dollars burning a hole in their pocket. I think the attendance at the National if held would surprise you. Not saying it will happen, just that if it does, business will go on as usual, perhaps even better. Most people have more money now than they did before the crisis and have not spent it, pent up frenzy, just like the card prices seen recently.

Only if there was an open roof!
