Written by Monte Jennings | Aug 31, 2024 2:13:27 AM

The Philly show is only a few weeks away! Just Collect will be at the convention with the biggest collection of vintage cards you can dream of for sale, and we'll be buying collections all weekend.

WHAT:

The Philly Show

WHEN:

  • Friday, September 16th 1:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Saturday, September 17th 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Sunday, September 18th 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM 

WHERE:

Greater Philadelphia Expo Center
at Oaks – Hall A & B
100 Station Avenue
Oaks, PA 19456

We will be set up at The Philly show all three days, buying and selling collections! If you missed as at The National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland or Fanatics Fest in New York City, you have another opportunity to visit the Just Collect booth in just a few weeks.

If you're looking to purchase a vintage card for your collection such as a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth or a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron rookie card, our cases will be stocked. You know we'll have plenty of Mickey Mantle cards on-hand, and legends from other sports like Joe Namath, and Michael Jordan. We'll also have select modern cards available like those from our high-end Aaron Judge collection.

You never know what will happen at the Just Collect booth during the shows, too. While at Fanatics Fest, we brokered a deal for an UNCUT sheet of 1935 Goudey cards that includes Babe Ruth! Right on the floor of the show, we made the deal. The story is one for the ages; the owner found the uncut sheet in an old trunk he purchased from Facebook Marketplace for $70. That $70 turned into $35,000 when we paid the collector!

Last time we were at the Philly show, we had the pleasure of seeing an uncut sheet of 1952 Topps cards! Here is a video from The Philly Show:

  • 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

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.

CONTACT US ANY TIME

Whether you have vintage cards or modern wax you want to sell, you can reach out to us any time!
