If you have ever wanted to see an amazing collection of sports cards and memorabilia, Fanatics Fest will be the place to be.
Fanatics is putting together the “Museum of Greatness,” which will feature items valued at more than $200 million.
The second Fanatics Fest takes place from June 20-22 at the Javits Center in New York City, offering opportunities for celebrity autographs, photo ops, interactive experiences and more.
Fanatics is pulling out all of the stops for the comic-con-like event focused on sports. Along with the show-stopping sports card and memorabilia display, there is also Fanatics Games, which will see athletes and influencers compete against fans for a $1 million prize.
“We’ve tried to improve the stuff we did last year while adding tons of new stuff and I think it’s going to be an unbelievable experience for fans,” Fanatics Events CEO Lance Fensterman said in a recent interview. “There’s so much that we’ve added this year.
The Museum of Greatness is believed to be the most valuable collection of cards and memorabilia ever assembled.
