Starting on Wednesday of this week and running through the weekend, The National Sports Collectors Convention returned after a year off (thanks, COVID) in Rosemont outside Chicago.
The National, as its known (or #NSCC21 on Twitter), is the largest sports card and memorabilia show in the country. It’s ComicCon for sports fans, with incredible autograph opportunities (including New York Giants legend Lawrence Taylor on Thursday morning) and an entire convention center filled with cards and memorabilia for sale.
If you’re looking for tobacco cards from 100 years ago, they’re for sale. If you’re looking to drop $10,000 on your favorite player, that’s easy.
