It would be up to him but why not? As long as the banquet stays civil. I think him speaking is a long shot but I guess you never know.

The reasons why not are all too apparent, unless he is truly delusional.

I don't know, with his confidence and delusions of grandeur I could see him thinking he could pull this off. Would be a very interesting evening.

I won't be there, but for me it would be a tradeoff between not attending out of disgust, and wanting to see the train wreck.

I would certainly enjoy attending this banquet, although I am not the most active poster I do read the posts everyday and love hearing about all the great items alot of you have, almost embarrassed by my collection after joining Net54, but has also inspired me to pursue more of my collecting goals. I live close to Rosemont and havent missed a show there in 10 years to include the National when it is held there and all the Sun Time shows and now its called the Chicago Sports Spectacular and I to every show ( Nov, Mar, June)
So I hope to meet alot of you on here |

I'm not sure what my duties will be with the auction house (it's their dime), but if I'm free, it would be interesting to meet and listen to the group when I'm in Chicago.

banquet
Personally, I would love to have PWCC and PSA there and I would be very upset if it was anything but civil. I love collecting and have done so since I was 10 years old (41 years). I do not have any $100,000 cards but I do have a six figure collection in total.
Lately, I have become concerned. If technology and bad actors make it impossible tell a fake piece from a genuine piece, or a legitimate high grade card from an altered or conserved card, is the hobby headed for a fall? Do I need to get out? Or will passing on a 1938 Goudey Dimaggio in a PSA holder or a 1951 Bowman Mays in a SGC holder still have value and legitimacy in 20 years if I pass it on to my kids? I have a couple thousand TPG graded cards. I don’t know of any of mine that are altered (other than the ones labeled that way) but I would be naive to think that they are all clean. Does that mean I am complicit in the problem if I sell? What about if I sell a psa 8 that only deserves a 6? My personal opinion is that it would be unfair to say that PWCC, PSA, BVG, SCG, REA, etc., etc. caused this problem. But I would certainly think it is fair to say they contributed to the problem. I would love to see an intelligent discussion on how to solve the problem. Maybe a panel? What I would hate to see is it disintegrate into what is happening now in Washington where everyone just insults each other, nobody acts like an adult, and nothing gets done. If we invite Brett or Joe Orlando or whoever, let’s not waste the opportunity to accomplish something by disintegrating into a mob. Rob Kasenter |

Didn’t Dougie speak at one of these? Or John Rogers? If Brent goes I’ll be there with a tape recorder.
