FAQ
Top FAQs:

Q: When do autograph tickets go on sale?

A:
Admission tickets and VIP Packages are ON SALE NOW! Autograph tickets will be sold through TRISTAR's website starting on May 24.

Q: I've never been to the TRISTAR Autograph Pavilion at the National before. How does this work?
A:
To obtain autographs in the Autograph Pavilion, you will need to purchase autograph tickets (information & pricing will be available in May). You will enter the autograph line by the number on your autograph ticket (All Access VIPs will enter all lines first, regardless of ticket number). You may also purchase authentication tickets to have a TRISTAR Authentic numbered hologram added to your item.

How It Works
 
STEP 1:
Purchase Admission. Each person attending the 34th Annual National Sports Collectors Convention must have a ticket to enter the show each day. OR purchase the All Access or VIP Package for a 5-day admission pass & more!

Purchase Tickets. (Available May 24.) You must have an autograph ticket for each autograph you wish to obtain. Fees vary for each guest. Your ticket number designates your place in line, so purchase in advance to ensure low ticket numbers. Purchase the All Access VIP Package for autograph line priority! (Available soon).
STEP 2:
Don't forget the Photo Opportunity Ticket for the opportunity to take your photo with your favorite stars! Fifteen (15) minutes prior to their regularly scheduled autograph appearances, autograph guests will be available to take photos with you, their fans, at the TRISTAR Photo Booth. Receive a professional color 5"x7" photo within minutes! (Fees vary for each guest & autograph is not included).
STEP 3: Don't have an item to have signed? You can purchase unsigned items directly from TRISTAR! (Available May 24.) Official Show Merchandise is available for all of your autographing needs. Everything from photos to footballs to bats to baseballs to jerseys are available for your favorites to sign at the show. Items can be purchased in advance for your convenience and then picked up at the show. We recommend preordering due to limited quantities for some items.
STEP 4: Purchase Authentication Tickets. (Available May 24.) If you would like to TRISTAR Authenticate your autograph signed at the show, you will need an authentication ticket. Take the ticket to the TRISTAR Authentication Booth and a TRISTAR representative will hologram your item and register it in the online database at www.tristarauthentic.com.
STEP 5: Walk the show floor and check out what The Nation's Finest Exhibitors have to offer. Look for one-of-a-kind collectibles, rare cards and more! The exhibitors are ready to sell, buy and trade! "If you can't find it at The National, it probably doesn't exist."
