The 46th National Sports Collectors Convention returns again to the Donald E. Stephens convention center in Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago next to the O’Hare International Airport.

More than a half-million square feet of convention space awaited tens of thousands who attended the 5 day event, celebrating sport and non-sport collectibles. From large entities like Fanatics, eBay, Upper Deck, PSA, to youngsters with cases of cards to sell, there was something for folks of alll aspects of the hobby, that shows no sign of slowing down.

This show includes coverage of the opening plus includes interviews with fellow card podcaster Ian Taylor, artist & maker Peter McClure, Stephanie Garcia, from Mama Breaks, show vendor Augie Andrews & Topps artist Stephan Leonardi.
