Collectors' delight: 'The National' sports memorabilia show rolls into RosemontCC -- and you'll find some non-sports stuff, too nsccshow
If you're on the prowl for sports memorabilia, looking to sell rare items that may be gathering dust in your storage space or seeking autographs from famous athletes, the 43rd annual National Sports Collectors Convention in Rosemont is the place to be this week.
"For two decades, The National has been our Super Bowl, Final Four and World Series rolled into one," added Chris Ivy, director of sports auctions for Heritage Auctions. Those on a budget still can find treasures, like a custom-framed autographed photo of Hall of Fame hurler Nolan Ryan pummeling White Sox third baseman Robin Ventura for $319.
• Be prepared to be blown away by historical items, such as tickets to the 1936 Olympics in Germany and programs from the famous 1951 baseball playoff series between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants, cemented in memory by Bobby Thomson's"Shot heard around the world." • The convention has partnered with Signatures For Soldiers, a nonprofit organization raising money and awareness to assist military veterans with disabilities, members of the armed forces and their families.
