The National Sports Collectors Convention (NSCC) has announced an exciting opportunity to make a difference in the Cleveland community through a special charity auction at the 2024 convention. This year marks the National’s 44th anniversary, and to celebrate, the auction will feature 44 exclusive items, with proceeds benefiting three Cleveland area charities.
The charity auction, hosted by Pristine Auction, will take place from July 20, 2024, to July 27, 2024. Bidders can participate in the auction online through a designated link, with select items also on display at the convention for attendees to view in person.
The auction highlights a diverse range of sports memorabilia, including two highly valued paintings by renowned sports artists, each estimated at $10,000 to $15,000. Other notable items include signed baseballs, rookie cards, framed cuts, jerseys, helmets, lithographs, and more, featuring famous sports icons like LeBron James, Mickey Mantle, Usain Bolt, and Tyson Fury.
