Everyone on the board seems to view the national thru the prism of cardboard and not autographs. I would assume that a show in AC brings more people to get Eagles, Phillies, Yankees, NY Giants, Jets autographs than folks hunting for cardboard. How does the autograph game survive in this environment. I have no idea. Have a hard time seeing players in their 60s and 70s flying to shows (anywhere) and then buddying up to complete strangers for photos, etc. Are people going to pay for autographs with basically no interaction with signer.
By the way, those talking about biting cold in NJ in December are off base. I bet mid December last 3 years was probably in the high 50s if not higher than that. Don't get cold around here any more until end of January- early Feb.
Agree that if its during football season and the casinos are open again may attract a lot of people looking to blow off some steam. Not everyone going to the show is an old man hunting for that rare Polar Bear back. Some younger guys could go to AC and party hearty and watch some football.
Having said that, I think the organizers will cancel 2020 for good. Don't think they could possibly get the foot traffic (never mind air traffic) to warrant it, and I think the autograph piece will fall apart.
