<p><span>Joe, that is great news about the National Sports Collectors Convention! I will be attending New York Comic Con in October, so I hope that my experience is very similar. Thanks for the update.</span></p>

<p>Steve, that is a great point about handshakes. I have noticed the same thing. Regarding the grading services, I have been wondering about that as well. I was under the impression that the long delays may have been caused by a shortage of both personnel and supplies. Thanks for the comments.</p>

<p>There was a record fan turnout at The National Sports Collectors Convention last week, with lots of good autograph signers and fan photograph opportunities at the Tristar Autograph Pavilion. </p>
<p>I didn't attend, so I don't know if the signers used their own markers, but the convention seemed like the old normal from the videos I saw on Youtube.</p>
<p>The Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremonies are being held this week, 75 veteran HOF'ers are expected to attend. </p>

<p>As a side note, I am not sure the various grading services will ever get back to normal. I want to submit a few comics for grading, but the wait times and increased costs are insane!</p>

<p>All things pass. I believe the new normal will eventually be the same as the old normal. Sure, there may be some long term holdouts, but by and large, life will go back to what it was before.</p>
<p>A year ago people were saying that "the handshake is forever dead." I shook hands with at least 10 people in the last week going back to the office or at meetings. This past weekend there was a large antique fair locally... same as it was before except some people are wearing masks. </p>

<p>Too be honest I haven't really been told no this year on the streets of Southern California. Even last year in the middle of lock down I was still able to obtain a couple of autographs. I rarely went to get someone last year, but some names you can't pass up. The industry has slowed with certain events. But overall its not stopping celebs from signing.</p>

<p>Great perspective and great points, Crazy Rabbits. I have also been taking advantage of some of the private signings that have been occurring. Take care.</p>
