My TOP 10 Tips For The National Sports Card Show 👀

For the past 14 years, I've been fortunate enough to go to the biggest sports card show in the world: The National Sports Collectors Convention. I'm hoping to take the knowledge I have learned over the last decade to help other collectors prepare for the show. This year, the show is in Cleveland, Ohio at the I-X Center. If you enjoyed this video and would recommend it to more people, leave a thumbs up!

See you at the National…I got an interesting card for you 😉

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Great tips Ryan. Looking forward to seeing you there!

[@cardcollector2]

CANT WAIT!

[@ronblankenship]

Really had a nice time meeting you with my son on the trade show last year. Looking forward to seeing you again in Cleveland!

[@michaelhang3557]

I’m watching this knowing I won’t be going to the Nationals lol

[@Mking2026]

Ran into my door watching this have a concussion so I guess your videos are hooking lol!

[@andrewmcdougall9980]

CC2 please keep being you. You've nailed it. You treat people well and are putting on a clinic as far as growing a business and a brand goes. My hope is that 10 years from now, you're just the same guy because you're awesome. Please don't let the ridiculous minority cramp your style or affect what you're doing. From a big fan up in Ottawa.

[@lisanns8127]

Trade nights were the best!!!

[@Dgleft12]

Sorry, meant to say….thank you this is really great. I️ was heading there today and had 0 planning planned…until now

[@brianjones6708]

Bringing my 8 year old, 7 hours away for our first show, we are PUMPED.

[@Sportscardrilan]

Nice it well also be my first but just only live 2 hours away I love 10 minutes from Ryan’s card shop lol

[@zachpierce641]

I’m 5 hours from Dallas card show . I go down stay with family and buy cards. It’s fun I’m just out a couple tanks of gas. I just can’t rationalize the National . Between hotel flights admission transportation food. Easily $1500-$2000 before you even buy cards

[@PeytonEdit]

Ryan I wanted to know if I have to buy tickets online or am I able to buy them in person at the place. And if I am under 12 for the free tickets will I need to get that online or just show up. Thank you I love you vids keep it up and can’t wait to see

[@lando13828]

Thanks for the help Ryan, so I’m still confused do you have to pay for the promo packs or are they free if not, how much?

[@UncleAL86]

I'm so jealous - I wish we had huge card shows in Australia! Get yourself some NRL ELITE US Edition...America is getting them weeks before Australia.

[@Tylertrickshots]

I’ve been looking for you and you inspired me to get back into sport card collecting I just wanted to say thanks

[@Trashton]

I'm going today (Wednesday) there is no trade night on Wednesday? 😕

[@TJCrown412]

do they sell and buy other items like jerseys, bats, game used baseballs? or is it strictly cards?

[@alvinbarrett741]

CC2 , This will be my first national with my 14 year old son. We don’t have a ton of highly valuable cards. Would it be a waste to bring base and inserts of superstars and greats pre covid years? For example a stack of Tom Brady cards $2-$10 cards. Would dealers take this for credit towards a sell at their booths?

[@zachpierce641]

Honestly, my best advice would be to sell on eBay or some thing if you have a parent that will help you. Dealers aren’t going to pay much for that stuff . You’d be lucky to get half of whatever you think it’s worth

[@gw78787]

Do you have a website? Where is your store located?

[@Tylertrickshots]

So good bro you deserve this. You deserve to get 10 mil subs.

[@timsfgiantsmem9382]

we didnt wear rubberz back in the day! now its all about sleevin it up

[@cooperplays7610]

I need to know asap do you have to have tickets to go to the trade nights

[@despiracy9151]

Topps does not host a VIP party at the National. I think it would be awesome if the Transcendent VIP party was at the National when it is not at an MLB stadium. This year it is Aug 12th at Camden Yard. To be honest, having the parties at MLB stadiums is better than at the National. 2019 was at Chase Field and we got to view the Kendrick collection. 2020 was at Reading Terminal and would have been better at the National. BTW: it was nice meeting you guys at the Xenia show.

[@brianbunch2584]

Good video thanks for tips

[@JAY_Prod1234]

Love the vids I was near but couldn’t home bc of time hours

[@AllStarCards]

Do you need a separate pass to get into trade nights?

[@theCrimsonCollects]

Applicable shirt 😉

[@MarkYoungCardAwesomeness]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ravidhingra9414]

I love your videos

[@Tylertrickshots]

So good

[@haydenmiller1509]

Question from a first timer: How early should you get there each day to get in right around the opening time? (This is for General Admission)

[@Tystrollo]

Best deals are always at the start of the day!

[@haydenmiller1509]

@@Tystrollo I figured. I'm trying to get in at the start each day but just don't know how early I need to get in line

[@talonzindars4163]

Let’s go Ryan

[@cracked4602]

I wish I was there

[@Moss0124]

I know he hit on this but how much would someone recommend to bring to the National money wise ? Won’t make it this year but definitely will try for next year.

[@chrisfree9]

What ever you could afford. I could afford to spend thousands so idk what you can get away with without breaking the bank or struggling to live

[@Xcrazyeddie]

Love the vids

[@MikelTulp]

How much is 1 12 foot table at National?

[@cooperplays7610]

Is it money to get in the breakers pavilion

[@OutlawedOutlier]

Wait how many national shows have you went to? I might have missed it

[@CTPEP6]

This will be #15

[@Jjboys12345]

Your the goat

[@diggindumbsht9525]

You’re

[@Fartnuggetsallday]

He’s right it’s you’re

[@Dgleft12]

Do you need cash? And is this cheaper than getting off of eBay. Say looking for a high end card, I️ would not want to carry that much cash….and if no tax or no fees, I️ would love to buy there

[@sdhsfbrules]

Is weed legal in Ohio?

[@jimbo1028]

You guys need to start putting out different videos. There's 50 hobby trading card channels all pumping the same exact videos. Its starting to become boring and predictable. Think outside the box brother. Cheers

[@cardcollector2]

I’ve been to 14 nationals in a row, and created our channel to show the next generation what I’ve learned over that time period. Just trying to help, sorry if that’s boring 😔

[@Pittsburgh4386]

You’re not boring…some people just want to see the world burn 😢

[@ordinarybasketballcards]

This is good content.

[@Finley-t8j6i]

@@cardcollector2I promise you I don't find this boring I need this it's my first time going it helps me a lot

[@cventura4244]

I don’t follow all the creators so good to see Ryan put out these tip videos bc he’s one of like 3 content creators I follow and it’s my first national. Appreciate the tips Ryan!
