Just Collect Booth Numbers for the 2026 NSCC Show in Chicago

Just Collect is Buying and Selling at the National Sports Collectors Convention

July 16, 2026

We are days away from the 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention, and now is the time to plan your show! Just Collect has our official booth numbers where we'll be buying and selling collections. Here is how you can come meet us!

The National will be at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL., near Chicago, from July 29th - August 2nd. The biggest show of the year features 500,000 square feet of hobby fun! Just Collect will be buying and selling all show long. Whether you have a single Mickey Mantle card, a complete set of 1986-87 Fleer basketball, or something you found in grandpa's attic, we are interested! We will be offering a at the National, too. Perhaps you're looking to purchase a card to take home? Just Collect will have TWO booths of the finest vintage sports cards, high-end modern cards, and Pokémon with your name on it. The big question is: how do you find Just Collect if the show is 500,000 square feet? Easy!

JUST COLLECT BOOTH NUMBERS - HOW TO FIND US!

301 and 303

We have so many cards for sale that we needed two booths! To see the full show layout, check out the interactive map.

As you walk into the show from the Main Lobby and head onto the show floor, you're heading toward the far end of the hall — near the VIP Entrance side, all the way at the back. The booth numbers make it easy to track your progress: they count down by 100 as you go, so just keep going until the numbers get small.

Here's what you'll pass along the way:

Enter the floor near booths 1100, 1101, 1102, 1103
Keep going until you reach 901 and 903
A bit further, you'll hit 801 and 803
Keep following the numbers down to 301 and 303 — you've arrived!

We're in the very last row, tucked near the stairs up to the Expoteria — look for that staircase as your landmark once you're getting close.

Hard time seeing the numbers? Look up! You'll spot our big Just Collect sign right at the booth.

Come say hello - we can't wait to see you!

We offer many ways to evaluate your cards other than or using our website, too.

Travel to Us

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.

Come to convention

We keep a LIST of card shows we'll be attending. Come stop by the Just Collect table and chat.

Meet in-person

If you have a valuable collection and want us to come to you, we'll hop on the next plane out.

Meet in New York City

If you're near New York City and would like to meet in a public place, our owner, Leighton, would be happy to meet you; read all the information here.

SHIP your collection

If you choose to mail your cards for an appraisal, we will evaluate your cards for FREE still. If you choose not to sell the cards, we'll ship them back shipping fees paid by us! We can offer our FedEx account with 2-day shipping, fully insured, all covered by us. Simply contact the office to set up this option.

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
