The National Sports Collectors Convention (NSCC) has unveiled an exciting opportunity for attendees to contribute to meaningful causes at the 2024 event. In its 44th edition, the convention will host a special charity auction with 44 exclusive items up for grabs, all in support of three Cleveland area charities. This initiative not only adds a heartwarming touch to the event but also showcases the power of sports memorabilia in making a difference.
Hosted by Pristine Auction, the charity auction is scheduled to take place from July 20 to July 27, 2024. Participants can engage in the auction online through a designated link, with select items on display at the convention for in-person viewing. This offers a unique opportunity for sports enthusiasts and collectors to acquire prized possessions while contributing to important charitable endeavors.
Among the highlights of the auction are two original paintings by renowned sports artists, each expected to fetch between $10,000 and $15,000. In addition to these paintings, bidders will have the chance to compete for a range of highly coveted items, including signed memorabilia, vintage collectibles, and limited-edition pieces. From baseball to basketball, football to soccer, and even entertainment memorabilia, the auction boasts a diverse collection that caters to various interests within the sports collecting community.
Some standout items up for auction include original artworks, signed jerseys, vintage cards, and specialty boxes from different sports genres. Notable pieces such as a LeBron James portrait, a Roberto Clemente lithograph, and a Babe Ruth rookie card are sure to attract avid collectors and enthusiasts seeking unique additions to their collections. The auction lineup is a testament to the rich history and diversity of sports memorabilia, offering something for every type of collector to appreciate.
The charitable auction aims to benefit three Cleveland area charities, namely:
– Greater Cleveland Food Bank, Inc.: Striving to combat hunger and provide nutritional resources to those in need, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank plays a vital role in supporting the community by bridging food insecurity gaps and promoting empowerment through education and assistance.
– The City Mission: Focused on assisting individuals and families facing homelessness, The City Mission offers tailored programs and resources to help their residents achieve stability and independence, fostering a brighter future for those in crisis.
