2026 National
 

Hi, gang. My search hasn’t turned up anything reliable, but have any of you got the inside track on when next year‘s national might be held? It’s nice that the location is locked in for the next couple of years, but I’d like to get an idea of when it might be held as I start planning the trip. The last week or two of July is a pretty safe bet, but have any of you heard something more definitive?

2026 and 2027 will be held in Rosemont,IL where the show is being held this year. 2028 will be voted on at this year’s show.

Typically its the last few days of July or first few days of August, I'd bet a small farm it'll be July 29th-August 2nd.

Those would be my preferred dates. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the info. I am one of the ones that likes Rosemont, as much as any of them and, more than most.

And a card I got at the National a few years ago...

I have no doubt that it will be Rosemont for the future. Apparently, nobody wants a change :D

Damn, that's a beauty. Who was selling it? And was this at AC?

It was Chicago, 2023, Terry Knouse Sr had it. I sat with him, Jr and Shirley for a few hours behind their booth chatting. Such awesome folks.

BTW, I don't say it often, but the cards you show are off the charts. Always a treat to see them.
