The National Sports Collectors Convention (NSCC) is the largest and longest-running collectibles event in North America. The 2025 edition, held in Chicago, set a new all-time attendance record, continuing a three-year streak of growth. Industry estimates put turnout at well over 100,000 collectors, surpassing the 2024 Cleveland show.

The National featured autograph pavilions with Hall of Fame athletes, major grading companies (PSA, CGC, Beckett), corporate sponsors like eBay and Fanatics, and nightly trade sessions. Exclusive card releases and live breaking further cemented its role as the “Super Bowl of card shows.”

As the central meeting place for collectors, dealers, and companies, The National remains the defining event of the hobby calendar.
