One of the best things about the National Sports Collectors Convention is the opportunity to see some rare and interesting items up close. At this year’s Chicago extravaganza, SCP Auctions will display more than a dozen high-end pieces. In addition to Ernie Banks’ photo-matched and very well- preserved 1968 Chicago Cubs home jersey, the display will include the bat Mr. Cub used during the 1964 season in which he belted 23 home runs and drove in 95 runs. The bat also carries the autograph of the late Hall of Fame icon.
A long-time attendee at the National, SCP will be located just inside the Stephens Convention Center’s main entrance. David Kohler and Dan Imler will be on hand to talk with collectors while buying, selling and taking consignments at the company’s booth (#1013, 1015, 1112 and 1114).
