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.
