What an absolutely incredible and unforgettable weekend at the National Battlefield Card Classic!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who helped make this event so special.

To our amazing vendors — thank you for believing in our vision, traveling to Gettysburg, bringing incredible inventory, creating unforgettable experiences for collectors, and continuing to support what we are building together. These events would not exist without you, and we truly believe we have the best vendor community anywhere!

To every attendee, collector, family, and fan who walked through those doors this weekend — thank you for showing up in such unbelievable numbers. Welcoming several thousand people over Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate this hobby together was something we will never forget. Seeing kids opening packs, longtime collectors sharing stories, friends reconnecting, and new memories being made is exactly why we do this.

To our autograph guests — thank you for taking the time to meet fans, sign autographs, take photos, and create moments people will remember for a lifetime.

To our sponsors and partners — thank you for helping support this event and believing in our mission to grow the hobby and bring communities together through trading cards and collectibles.

To the staff at the All Star Sports Complex, The Barn Resort, our trade night partners, security, setup crews, food vendors, entertainers, volunteers, and our entire ECI team — thank you for the countless hours of hard work behind the scenes. Events of this magnitude simply do not happen without an incredible team effort.

This weekend was bigger than just a card show. It was a celebration of community, nostalgia, passion, and the hobby we all love.

Gettysburg made history this weekend, and every single one of you were part of it.

Thank you for making the National Battlefield Card Classic truly unforgettable. We cannot wait to do it again next Memorial Day weekend on May 29th & 30th!
