Great points. IMO at this point instead of trying to pull this event together in the next 3-4 months (will the outbreak be any better or worse even), which is a huge endeavor, is to do a full on cancellation and put the resources together and go full steam ahead and plan for 2021. Vendors/guests/artists/celebs I image are all booked for the rest of the year at other con's and events. I would rather do that then have 40% of the talent, artists and vendors not there because they are at other cons. I get there are big dollars at stake and a boost to the local economy but how good can the show really be on such a short terms planning schedule? Just random thoughts. But I say cancel and get a huge head start on 2021. Hey we still have Rose City Comic Con in Sept.

CS told me refunds are being issued for tix/merch automatically within 30 days, tix received in the mail won't be honored and prob just trash at this point. When they have the date set this summer (hopefully) then they will put tix up and we go through the process again. Prob a ton of work getting an event this size coordinated again for later this summer. Hopefully I can get a 4 day pass this time around and not have to buy tix for individual days again.

The show has been postponed until summer https://www.emeraldcitycomiccon.com/About/A-Statement-From-Reedpop/

Still no passes for me in today's mail.

Is offering a refund on tickets the first step in paving the way for a show cancellation even though its only a week out now? I gotta think they would have some sort of idea the amount of requests coming through for refunds coupled with artist/creator/vendor cancellations to have an idea to keep this thing going or not.

Still no badges in today's mail. They sure like to wait until the last minute

Wow a lot of vendors pulling out, major ones at that. Whats next? Not looking good. Glad they are offering refunds. I haven't received my badges yet either though I haven't checked the mail today. I am leaning towards throwing in the towel this year, I wonder how many vendors/creators/stars it will take before they cancel.

Serious? Do you think the risk is that high? Thats a lot of people, big crowds and close quarters. Honestly I am on the fence. All it takes is one to put the place on quarantine

Anybody think the show is in doubt? Would they cancel now that we are in a state of emergency because of the corona?

Its all good no prob. All paid up.

Love this look, clean lines, no clutter and the books pop, very nice. Minimal but super classy. I really like this setup. What shelves are you using and where did you get them?

Seeing this thread, thought I would chime in on a little nostalgia from a MTG player and collector that got in early..... Had a chance to buy the original artwork for Force Field for $800 back in the late 90's but I didn't have the money for it at the time, had to pass. I used to own several MTG originals, mostly from the late 90's early 2000's when i was still playing. Mostly land originals as i thought those were the coolest looking at the time. Plus I owned an original with some furry beast or monster in a tree, can't remember the name of it. Reminded me of the Guardian Beast card. I originally purchased Terese Nielsen's island original back in 2001/2002'ish (can't remember the set it was from, still have my signed cards from her though) I believe it was the only land card she has done besides the guru lands. I think I paid $600-$700 for it at the time which I was younger and not making a ton of money at the time and put it on the credit card. Sold off all my cards, including the power 9 and all my art when I got out of MTG in the mid 2,000's so I could put a down payment on a house. Now, $1,500 for unlimited mox pearl and $4,000-$5,000 for alpha/beta mox pearl is disgusting crazy money. I mean thats some ridiculous money. $2,000 for an Ancestral Recall is freaking bananas. In 2011/2012 Ancestral Recall was a $300-$400 card slightly played, i know because i had an extra one I found and flipped. I thought i did good at the time Ha! I also lived near the Seattle area around the late 90's early 2000's and WotC had a shop/tournament/arcade/hang out place on The Ave in the U-district i would go there and hang out all day and night and play with people and play in the occasional tourney. High end cards were so cheap back then. I bought a moderate to heavily played Timetwister for $35 there from another player. Same guy had a mox sapphire for $75. I also remember playing MTG back in 1994, pulled a lotus out of an unlimited starter pack. Very cool. I also remember paying $6 for unlimited mox ($10 for alpha or beta) at my local comic shop and $12 for black lotus. Timetwister $7 and dual lands $4, I had 2 shops in the area with similar prices, gotta love pre-widespread internet days. My times have changed.
