ATLANTIC CITY – The 2024 National Sports Collectors Convention could have a different look and feel.
For the first time since The National in 2004, a new sports management company will be running the biggest show in the sports collectibles hobby.
Business partners Joe Drelich, Brian Coppola and Jim Ryan, who run JBJ Corporation, have secured the contract to manage The National in 2024.
The contract for SMI LLC — run by John Broggi, the show manager of The National since 2005 — will expire following the 2023 show in Chicago.
