The National Sports Collectors Convention is almost here and if you haven’t heard yet, we have a ton of promos planned. So much, in fact, we even shot a quick video highlighting what’s in store.
But, after all of the promotion, we thought we’d write a quick, easily scannable blog on EVERYTHING that’s happening.
Without further adieu, here’s a list of the great things we have in store for the biggest sports collectors show of the year.

On-site Grading and Autograph Authentication
Submit your trading cards for grading or autographs for authentication, and get your collectibles back by show’s end. Sounds like a plan, but there are some pro tips to keep in mind for show submissions.
And of all the pro tips to remember, none is more important than this next thing …

Use the Online Sub Center for Giveaways and Access to Express Line
Not only is it the most efficient way to submit trading cards for grading, but during the National you’ll get added perks. Every day, the first 50 attendees to use the Online Submission Center and provide proof of such will have access to their choice of PSA hats or PSA breaker mats, while supplies last.
And, if the potential for prizes isn’t enough, those who submit their orders online will get to skip to the Express line. Most efficient way to submit? Check. Chance for prizes? Check. No lines? Check, check, check. Online Submission Center is the way to go.

We can’t wait! So, see you there!
Omg you should make the personal PSA cards a thing that you can buy & not just available to some people!! These is such a cool idea & could be a great gift for a sports enthusiast that has everything & you can’t think of what to buy for them. I would totally buy at least one for myself dressed up in each one of my favorite teams!! Definitely a good idea ?
Great feedback! They are really neat!
