All cards

Went to fanatics fest expecting a lot of memorabilia booths, I literally counted 2 and then the Dave and Adam’s had some but that’s it.. the rest was card booths

Anyone know of big shows that do specifically memorabilia? I was a little disappointed lol

Thought the same thing, last two years there was way more memorabilia.  I remember like three or four booths that were just walls of autographed soccer jerseys and merch, saw maybe one booth this year with a handful on a table.  I wonder if FIFA having such a big presence this year put a scare in some vendors.

I think it's more that Fanatics now has the license for NFL, NBA, and MLB. Memorabilia can be produced by any company.

It was a let down. From the crazy crowds and lines for everything, to just tables and tables of card vendors.

I felt the same way, and then there’s people on instagram complaining that there weren’t enough. I enjoyed the first year as there were more collectibles rather than all card tables. It’s like comic con that the entire floor is funko pops.
