Top 10 Reasons You Should Attend Sportsfest
Posted by Chris

sportsfest.jpgOk… As you all know, Sportsfest is one of the biggest card/autograph shows of the year. Anyone on the fence about going should check out my Top 10 Reasons You Attend Sportsfest.

#10 There is a free coupon for one day of admission in the June 1 issue of SCD.
-    That’s a $10 savings right off the bat!

#9 The event is at the more modern Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center
-    Move over Rosemont and your eight-dollar week-old hotdogs, bring on the hip RSHC Center

#8 The new venue has FREE PARKING!
-    Nothing worse than spending almost as much money on parking as you do on your admission. You don’t have to worry about that anymore.

-    On Friday of the event all autographs are only $10
-    You will be able to obtain exclusive Upper Deck trading cards via its redemption program

-    What more can I say about these legends and future legends?

#5 “What’s it Worth”
-    A very popular event at Sportsfest, collectors can bring in any piece of memorabilia or card to ask our panel of experts “What’s it Worth?”

-    Unless you want about four choices for food choices and a couple of choices for drinks Schaumburg will impress you. One of Chicago’s nicest suburbs, with a lot going on.

#3 100s of the Nation’s biggest dealers will be in attendance
-    Card companies, authenticators, dealers, autograph guests… what more can you ask for?!

#2 Sunday is Wrestlefest and Sportsfest
-   A bunch of the best professional wrestlers in history will be in attendance signing autographs

#1 And the No. 1 reason you should attend Sportsfest is because I will be there!
- I can’t wait to meet all of you, so make sure you stop by the SCD booth.

One more reason: people who have stayed at the facility tell me there are television sets in the bathrooms. Money!

One other note:

Joe Montana, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Reggie Bush and Greg Olsen

Seems like a page ripped out of my 3-year-old's "Which one of these doesn't belong" book. All due respect to Mr. Olsen, of course, who should be a fine NFL player.

A hot dog actually cost $8?
