I'd love to see Pittsburgh have it. Large beautiful convention center in a great location, downtown on the river, in the heart of everything. Seems like that would be a fun location that would offer everything people want.

In general, I wonder what the monetary tipping point is for collectors. Let's say The National is in a city far away and you decide to get flights and a hotel, etc. For the sake of argument, let's just say your total costs for the trip will be $1,500 and it doesn't put a strain on your finances. You can afford it. When do you look in the mirror and say to yourself, "You know, if I stay home, I can take that 1,500 bucks and use it to buy a seriously nice card instead. I ain't going!!!"???

I enjoyed the 2016 National (my first one).

Only a 90 minute drive for me.

I'll be there (God willing, of course).

Rosemont's about a 50 minute drive for me, since I'm not a hard core collector, I'll simply wait until it swings back around. I agree, save the airfare and hotel and put it towards collectables or cards.

I refuse to go back to AC. The National last year just didn't have "it" and the area doesn't offer much that interests me. Looks like I'll just wait until it comes back to Cleveland every couple of years.
