2026 floor plan

[JuniorDandy]

Any chance anyone took a picture of the floor plan for next year during booth selection? Curious if they plan to expand the upstairs area next year.

I heard there will be more single tables available and some will be located downstairs.

2026 will be different we were set up upstairs and on Sunday when we got our spot for next year they said they would make the aisles larger 10ft wide was mentioned multiple times but not sure what's in there head's. The map showed extra tables downstairs by the Breakers area. Saturday at the meeting there were some 2 and 3 year dealers who lost booths and were given those tables downstairs due to dealers with more years taking 2 booths instead of the 1 booth they had the previous year. When the meeting was over there were dealers trying to get there booth back not sure how any of it turned out.

Turn the upstairs into a mini national 2.0. Take up the entire space.. there is clearly enough demand.

Sports Card Nonsense podcast said the National would be expanding to use more room upstairs

Expand the upstairs and put all the Pokémon dealers up there, or even the vintage dealers up there. No sense in them not being separated from each other. It would free up traffic where the Pokémon collectors don't have to walked by and clog up the isles by the Sports dealers and vice versa.

It would be nice to have corporate, breakers , and auto pavilion upstairs. Keep all dealer tables downstairs.

Yeah, bring back segregation!


But on a serious note, how would you implement this? These things aren't always exclusive to each other. There's plenty of dealers that have one or both of these along with modern.

Not hard. All dealers report what they are bringing. If you have all of 1 thing you get put together with other dealers that have the same thing. Dealers that are bringing multiple different things put together. I cant imagine it wouldn't help with foot traffic. At the very least if you are just there for Pokémon you don't have to fight a crowd past 20 vintage baseball dealers and vice versa.

hard no

Make all the old timers with old cards that nobody wants sit outside under the covered drop off area.

We only want shiny new refractors. NOTHING ELSE! haha

What a strange take given the fact that there was very little pokemon at the National this year. They certainly weren't clogging up the aisles with pokemon collectors. And half the show is vintage and half the attendees are there for the vintage. Another weird take. It seems like you either didn't attend the show, or were oblivious to everyone and everything that wasn't modern.
