Coming into the NSCC last year, our planning committee for the Main Event was nervous. We had a number of reservations, we had an incredible space to do the event, we had a great sponsor partnership, and tons of giveaways. However, we weren’t sure how it would all work out. For those of you who attended, I think we can all agree, everything exceeded expectations and then some.

We also knew that it was not going to be a one time thing, and that we would be aiming to bring back the event at the NSCC each year we were able. As we announced on social media earlier this year, the Main Event II is happening in Cleveland, and unlike last time – we are going to be an official part of the NSCC!

Ive had lots of people ask how they can be a part of the event this year, and what to expect for the return of the biggest night in Wrestling Cards!

First, lets start with the basic information for the NSCC.

NSCC Location: Cleveland, OH
NSCC Show Dates: July 24th – July 28th
Show Location: IX Center – 1 IX Center Drive, Cleveland, OH
Show Website: HERE

As part of the NSCC, there will be a trade night each night following the show, as there are very few spaces to hold any sort of event that arent 20-30 minutes from the location. The Main Event II will be one of five collector groups to have space inside of that trade night. Not only that, but we will have lots of space and lots of giveaways planned.

Basic Information for the Main Event II:

Date: Friday July 26th, 2024
Location: The NSCC Trade Night INSIDE the IX Center
Time: 5pm (close of the show) to the end of the trade night
Signups: NOT NEEDED! Just show up!

Last year we had so much success, we were invited to be one of the pilot groups for the new setup at the NSCC, which will include a special area for wrestling collectors to hang out, trade their cards, and enjoy the night. We have partnered with RBICru7 and Sports Card Junction as our primary sponsors for the event, and they will be at the show with tons of Wrestling cards at their booth and at the party to enjoy.

The main difference from last year is we will not need to take your name or your information to be a part of the event. Because the trade night is open to the public, all you have to do is come on by and be a part of our area. We will have card sets and giveaways, and that will require you to follow us on Social Media to ensure you will have access to these special community member perks.

This year’s card set was designed by Nate Emerson of Sports Card Junction, and he did an absolutely tremendous job on the way the cards look. The checklist is a continuation of last year, with a new design, and includes The Undertaker, Bray Wyatt, Jerry Lawler, Gunther, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rock and Sock Connection, and Stone Cold Steve Austin! These were picked by new members of our planning committee, and members of the community who were selected by our group.

In addition to the main event, Paul Anand of Wrestling Card Price Guide and Tony Vela of Wrestling Trading Cards will be planning another main stage panel as part of the content from the show floor, stay tuned for more details on participants and timing as it becomes available. Last year’s panel was a ton of fun, and had lots of great discussion on Wrestling Cards to showcase the power of our community live on stage.

There is a ton more information to share as the event gets closer make sure to follow all of us on social media to ensure you have all the details on giveaways and how to get your hands on some exclusive swag.
