Just Collect Presents Road to the National Series for NSCC 2025

Leighton Sheldon Interviews Orlando of Collectors Dream on Road to the National

May 30, 2025

National-3

The National Sports Collectors Convention, the BIGGEST show of the year, is just a few weeks ago! Getting you ready for the 2025 National is our owner, Leighton Sheldon, and the new series Road to the National. Orlando of Collectors Dream is the first guest on Episode One!

The 2025 National Sports Collectors Convention is SO close! From July 20th-August 3rd in Rosemont, IL., you'll have the opportunity to see, hear, meet, watch, or purchase just about any card, piece of memorabilia, or athlete you've ever dreamed of. From Babe Ruth cards to Michael Jordan autographs, there seems to be no limit to what you can find around every other corner of the show when it comes grails you could buy. Keep your eyes peeled, too; you never know who is wandering the show floor! Just Collect had the pleasure of interviewing Derek Jeter, and Tom Brady called Michael Rubin while at the Just Collect booth during previous booths. The Autograph Guest List is a who's who of athletes that you could have sign your rookie cards! If you're interested in SELLING a collection, Just Collect is BUYING at our booths, too! Last year, we proudly purchased The Mancini Collection which had graded cards of Mickey Mantle, a signed Nolan Ryan rookie card, a Jordan rookie card, a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig, and more!

That's a lot to take in, right? How do you prepare for the National? Our owner, Leighton Sheldon, has teamed up with The National Sports Collectors Convention to bring you the Road to the National!

This brand new series will feature Leighton interviewing special guests as we inch closer to the big show. In Episode One, Leighton speaks with Orlando from A Collectors Dream:

We. Can't. Wait. Don't forget to stop by the Just Collect booth if you're at the National! If you're selling a card or collection, we'd be happy to give you a free appraisal. If you can't make it to the show, we offer MANY ways to evaluate and purchase your collection from shipping, having you in our Just Collect store in Summit, NJ., and we do travel for large collections. You can always reach out any time to us here at Just Collect, and here is how you can contact us today:

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.
