Excuse our dust.

The virus's affect on autograph collecting.

Seems the whole world is changing. Who knows the long term effect. How has this crisis changed the way you collect autographs?

Well, it is likely that there are not going to be much in the way of live sports, or concerts for quite a while, so that avenue will dry up completely.  And with social distancing, and most peoples' general fear these days of getting near anyone, I don't see autograph collecting happening much until we somehow conquer this virus.

So correct, the in person collecting is definitely at a stand still. Although that is just one piece of the puzzle.

You'd think this standstill would open the door for some of the artists who sold a monster number of signed preorders (Camila, Selena, Halsey, Bieber, etc) to go ahead and knock those out. That doesn't really seem to be happening though, which I find more than a bit puzzling. And it makes me more inclined to start canceling a few more of them.

I agree with you, Rich. This would be a great opportunity for celebrities to sign remotely for their fans. Perhaps even consider using the revenue to donate to fighting this virus. It would be a win, win, win situation.
