The National in Chicago, IL. Trifecta brings your items to the event.
🏆 What Is The National?
The National Sports Collectors Convention — known simply as "The National" — is the largest and most prestigious sports card and memorabilia show in the United States. Held every year since 1980, it draws collectors, dealers, grading companies, auction houses, card manufacturers, athletes, and celebrities from around the world. To most of the hobby, it's the single biggest event of the year.
Collectors call it the "Super Bowl of the Hobby" for a reason — it's the country's largest card show, a major autograph convention, and an industry trade show all under one roof for five days.

📦 Shipping Information — Please Read
Important Shipping Notes
- This signing is NOT LOCAL in the Bay Area. All items must be mailed to Trifecta first, then shipped to the event destination, then returned to the Bay Area, and finally shipped back to you. If you are not comfortable with this, we suggest waiting for a local in-person signing.
- Autograph pricing does not include shipping. After receiving your order form, we will email you a full cost breakdown with the shipping cost included.
- If you are sending something of high value, we strongly suggest adding insurance and a Signature Receipt to confirm your item arrived safely.
- Trifecta Sports Collectibles is NOT responsible for mis-delivery, lost items, or damaged items while in transit. Sending your items to us means you agree to this.
- Trifecta Sports Collectibles will NOT pay out item value for any mis-delivery, lost items, or damaged items while in the mail.
📸 We'll Try to Capture Your Item Being Signed — We will do our best to capture the athletes signing your exact item via photo or video, but we can't guarantee it. It's the closest thing to being there yourself. No additional cost for this service.
