The National as a Fan Experience is interesting but not sure it would draw but a small fraction of something like Comic-Con. I will never understand the people that advocate for that type of approach for the National. I feel the show would die in short order. We don’t have people dressing up and cosplaying as Shohei Ohtani because he is their favorite ballplayer!🤣
Just completely different niches.
The Corporate part of the National has gotten so big but other than standing in line to get free packs from Topps/Fanatics for buying their product at the show what exactly was happening over there for most of the show? Nothing.
I hope the show doesn’t turn into something where the average dealer gets priced out and only the larger outfits get the decent floor space.
