    I would go. I'm not one to travel to Cleveland or Chicago so my chance comes around every few years.

    There’s a committee. I am not on it, but I heard from a good source. Take it for what it’s worth; an internet message board rumor.

    I probably would not have gone anyway, but that is the absolute worst time it could be for me.

    Sure thing.

    That show is great! I never knew who this guy Herb Abrahms was. Dude was a maniac! Can't wait to see the next episode on The Road Warriors.

    Still think it will ultimately be cancelled. Contract tracing is going to take a long time to establish and they will not want to trace through everyone who attends something like The National.

    The dates they have are Saturday through Wednesday. I can't imagine after the weekend there will be much traffic on the floor.

    It's going to be in Key West the week of Thanksgiving...... evidently Jimmy Buffett is playing with Bozz Scaggs and since the World Series is going to played down there this year it should be a crankin' Thanksgiving. PSA will be grading on site and the promo is out of the bag..... free frozen Margarita poured by Dennis Rodman with every $100.00 plus grading order.... Mango rita's $200.00 and up.

    I don’t understand why people want to cancel/postpone things 4-5 months in advance. We have no idea what things will be like next month much less August.

    Was looking forward to attending per the original date. But now with virus uncertainty and a major holiday month chances now are slim for me.

    We do have an idea what will happen - 50,000 more deaths between now and August 5 on the very lowest end estimates. As each state eases social distancing and shelter in place - all models move the death total upwards in that same time frame. In August thousands of Americans will die from Covid-19.

    These big events take a lot of time, effort and $$$$$ to prepare for. Many groups don't want to put all that in and then most likely have to pull the plug, they want to cut their losses now. I agree though that some things way far out they should wait as long as possible. I hear the 2021 World Baseball Classic is about to be delayed to 2023. I think that they could give it another month or 2 to see where we are headed...

    Weeks ago the 2020 Olympics were put off until next year.

    Great timing, right in the middle of a possible #2ndWave.

    This will be known as the “Epic Fail” National.

    I'm guessing they got a deal from Atlantic City to keep it scheduled with a no-penalty cancellation clause, I don't see why any event planner for a show like this would even announce a return date until there is more experience with the re-open.

    It's Atlantic City, the committee probably got an offer they couldn't refuse?

    I bet they end up bagging it. With the weather, time of year and fear of the virus spiking again they won’t get half the number of dealers they normally get.

    Ac is a pit. Why not move it to a southern state for the winter?
