For the first time, the National Sports Collectors Convention (NSCC) is offering early VIP credential pickup, allowing attendees to collect their passes ahead of the main event. VIP guests can now pick up their credentials on Tuesday, July 29, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM, helping to reduce wait times and improve the check-in experience.

Enhancing the VIP Experience​

Long lines for credential pickup have been a common frustration in past NSCC events, with collectors sometimes waiting hours before gaining entry. By offering an early pickup window, the NSCC is taking a proactive step to make the process more efficient and convenient.

While some delays are inevitable due to the high volume of attendees, this change is expected to ease congestion and create a smoother check-in process ahead of the show’s official opening.

VIP attendees can collect their credentials at the VIP Pickup Lounge, which will be available during the following times:

• Tuesday, July 29: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
• Wednesday, July 30: Starting at 9:00 AM

How to access VIP pickup:

• Enter through the VIP Entrance, located on the left side of the main entrance.
• Follow the VIPS WITH TICKETS signs.
• Proceed to the 2nd floor VIP Pickup Lounge via the escalator.
• Receive VIP Badge, Autograph Tickets, VIP Gift Bag, and an information packet with event details.

Bonus Perks for Early Check-In​

VIPs who check in before 4:00 PM on Wednesday will gain access to the exclusive VIP Lounge, which includes:

• Complimentary refreshments

• Free autograph signings starting at 2:00 PM

With early VIP pickup now in place, NSCC is working to ensure a better experience for collectors, making it easier for attendees to get in and enjoy the biggest card show of the year.
