Where's all the news from the Industry Summit?

[BBCgalaxee]

Gotta say, I am really shocked I can't find any news and info from the summit anywhere.

Today starts the third day and unless I'm just not finding it, there's no news online or even on Beckett site who now own event.

Outside of the announcement that it's going back to Hawaii next year, is there any other news?

What's to talk about. Nearly every major sport has or will have one exclusive card manufacturer starting in 2016. The hobby freaking sucks right now.

MLB - Topps
NFL - Panini
NBA - Panini
NHL - Upper Deck/Panini? I think the NHL will be the only diverse league for the hobby starting next season.

YAY FOR US!

I'm guessing a lot of dealers and trading card manufacturers were banned from the Summit this year.

Very interested to hear more

In my opinion, the one good about this is that it will drive more people to vintage

I know? No licensed Upper Deck baseball/basketball or Topps football just doesn't feel right. Not really sure why the NFL and NBA are doing it too. It's not EVEN an industry anymore.

You cant blame Panini, they're just playing Topps' game and they seem to be winning.
