Lots of know-it-alls also said it will proceed as planned. Both were wrong.

I imagine Topps will have lots of new wax coming out at this time of the year.

Will be interesting from a lot of different angles.

Attendance
Prices (worst time of year for baseball card prices?)
products (usually Topps is releasing Chrome around the time national is usually held, Ginter still very popular, I'm sure others)
Time of Year (AC isnt prettiest anyways but at least you can walk boardwalk in summer, winter not so much)
Accomodations may be cheaper

Hopefully show does happen, as long as we are going back to normalcy (hopefully) I plan on going.

I'd wait for it to actually take place before taking shots at people. A lot can happen between now and December.

If this is true, it’s a terrible, terrible decision for so many different reasons.

I can already hear some kids crying around the Christmas trees because Daddy spent little Johnny's Christmas present money on Panini National Silver Packs.

From a baseball prospective, hopefully they get some big name current players to sign.

My wife has had a few friend trips recently. Maybe I’ll see about going to check it out. Haven’t been to a proper card show since a National in Chicago in about 2008.

I mean to be fair those kids were already going to be crying around a tree if none of their presents had already been purchased before a week before christmas haha.

I think I might be buying my own christmas presents from the wife this year - honey no need to shop ill do your shopping for me.

AC is bad enough in it’s own right but AC in winter is really bad

That wouldn't be any fun. Of course a lot can happen, we could all die before December.

Which is why the center was most likely open. National in Dec is better than no National.

May I ask, what is the source of this information?

I was under impression the National would not make a decision until May 30? Good news if it is a go, that's fantastic.

Be prepared to have your immunity certificate readily available, and have your temperature taken upon entry. No one is allowed to cough either

Don't forget your social distancing guidelines. No mask. No entry.

And plan for a two week quarantine after your trip

***this is all satire and hyperbole***

Even if it has been rescheduled to December there is still no guarantee that it will actually take place. Flu season will be picking up again in December and if the coronavirus hasn't been contained yet we will likely see another spike during this time. I wouldn't be busting out the champagne just yet.
