My prediction for 2020 is that there will be entire tables of Aaron Judge $1 cards for sale.

You may see that by next month. His average has dropped nearly 50 points from its mid June peak. And 30 points since the All Star game.

You can sell them as a bundle with Kevin Maas rookies!

The guy is a talented kid, but the idea that he is in a deep slump now is kind of ridiculous. He never hit in the minor leagues anything like he did the first half of the season. Maybe this is his normal. Yankee fans had a bronze plaque already being worked on. As usual a little ahead of themselves.

Who or what is aaron judge? And who cares?
And as for AC in 2020, sounds like another probable break in going to the National for me.

I heard there was a dealer petition to not go back to Atlantic City. I wonder if there will be several dealers taking a break.

I hope so. Could use some new blood.

AC: Great to drive to from the East Coast, terrible to fly to from DFW or anywhere else

Correct me if I am wrong....Derek Jeter will most likely be inducted into the HOF in 2020.

Cooperstown is already predicting 100,000+ will be there in 2020 for this event.

The HOF date is usually set for the last weekend of July.

Whoever set the National date for the weekend of July 29 thru August 2 is not too smart.

I was at the Cooperstown Card show. Did some wheeling and dealing. Prices were better than the shops for sure. A lot of good peeps in there. Plus the weather was mild so it didn't feel like an oven in there this year!

Fixed that for you. It was smooth for me last year although that airport terminal is smaller than the show entrance area in Chicago.

This is true, the petition came around to where I was with only a couple signatures.

I also talked to someone who said they talked to a National person regarding locations and was told that the Rock Showplace Convention Center in the suburbs of Detroit is 50k sq. ft. too small, and that St. Louis had too much crime in the area of their center, FWIW.

Amen Rich. Chalk me up as one of those Southerners who will be in Cleveland in 2018, Chicago in 2019 but not Atlantic City in 2020, inaccessibility of flights being the major, but not only, reason.

[Snapolit1]

Just picked a random day next month to see what the flight options are from Dallas to Philadelphia on Expedia. 12 direct flights and 56 with a connection. Yeah I can see why it's next to impossible to get a flight within striking distance of Atlantic City. I usually say if I don't have at least 100 flight options a day a place is not accessible.

3 direct round trips Dallas to Cleveland that day.

Yes, there will. I'm looking at 2019 as my final National. It is just too long a haul for me to AC. The 2016 was a good experience, but at my age and with the amount of material I haul to the show I will have to pass on that one. Looks like I will attend Nationals as a customer in the future.

I know that I will also petetion to be admitted to the OBC group. Hoping that I am worthy!
