Just Collect is going LIVE from the National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago with our vintage card auctions! See how you can join us and purchase cards from anywhere on our Whatnot channel.

The National is being held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL., near Chicago, from July 29th - August 2nd. Just Collect will be at the show, buying and selling at our TWO booths! If you're looking to buy vintage cards of legends like Mickey Mantle and Michael Jordan, or if you're selling a collection, you can find us in booths 301 and 303. However, we know not everyone can make the trip to the show! This is why we are going LIVE on Whatnot to hold vintage card auctions right on site at the National!

WHEN:

Saturday, August 1st at 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CST

WHERE:

Click that Just Collect Whatnot Show button and you'll find our Whatnot shows! Get ready on that Saturday as we go LIVE from the National. Whether you're at the show, at home, or pretending to work (we won't tell your boss!), you can join our show and bid on our vintage cards. It's the National - you know we are going to be offering stars and Hall of Famers all show!

If you are at the show and want to come watch our broadcast in-person, you can find the Whatnot stage in the Live Streaming Pavilion. The booth number for the live stream is 1650, and it's easy to find by using this map.

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.
