The National Sports Card Convention comes to Cleveland July 24-28, and Mantel will be on the ground bringing you the greatest finds from one of the largest card shows of the year. 

On our NSCC feed, exhibitors are already sharing what they’re bringing and showgoers are discussing what they’re hunting for. Once the show kicks off, you can expect more updates from our community of vibrant collectors and articles from our staff. 

With over 600 card dealers and over 100 athletes conducting autograph sessions, we know the NSCC can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time attendees. That’s why our team has put together some helpful guides to make sure you get the most out of your experience. Whether you’re going to The National or planning to go to a different card show soon, we hope you’ll find these articles helpful!
