My wife and I are doing some trip planning today and Chicago made the cut.

I was just looking at the website and it appears to be business as usual.

Who else is planning to go?

    If it's not cancelled - I'll be there.

    Same here. I already have the hotel reserved. I'll wait a couple more months at least before I book the flight however. Also, you can bet I'll be buying tickets to the event the day before. I already lost some money with a big European vacation I had planned when Covid hit and I'm not a big fan of losing money.

    Are the VIP packages worth it?

    Good thinking. We are driving the 8 hours to Chicago so no airline worries.

    The hotel we are in has cancelation up to July 28th so we are good.

    Will go if my household is vaccinated, will not if we aren’t.

    I will be going as long as it doesn't get cancelled.

    Am trying to make it.

    My last National was 1982 in NYC. Mantle was so cranky in the auto line.

    Anyone know where it is scheduled for 2022?

    I honestly cannot afford to go with how the prices have blown up. The only card I had been looking for the last couple of years is a Jim Brown PSA 8 rookie and now I cannot afford it.

    Hope it takes place. If so, I will be there. Looking forward to meeting many folks here in person.

    Will be there and hotel already booked. Was planning on flying but will probably drive the 6 hours since who knows what restrictions the airlines will have at that point.

    I will be there, bringing the wife and 10 year old boy for his first one. Doubt I'll be buying anything but entertainment for them.
