East Coast Collections Convention
Mohegan Sun welcomes the return of the East Coast Collections Convention (EC3) on Saturday, February 24th from 10:00am – 6:00pm and Sunday, February 25th from 10:00am – 4:00pm in the Earth Ballroom. In addition to autograph signing sessions with Richard “Rip” Hamilton, Jim Calhoun and Christian Fauria, guests in attendance will be surrounded by sought after sports cards and other high-end collectibles in the sports and anime world. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via eventbrite.com.
On Saturday, February 24th, Basketball Hall of Famer, former UConn men’s basketball head coach and 3X National Champion, Jim Calhoun, will host an autograph signing session from 10:30am – Noon. UConn legend Richard “Rip” Hamilton will also host an autograph session from 11:00am – Noon. Rip Hamilton had one of the most decorated careers in UConn basketball history, including playing under Calhoun when the men’s team won the National Championship in 1999. He then went on to play professional basketball for 14 years, resulting in a national championship with Detroit and earning three all-star recognitions. These autograph sessions will take place right before a special jersey retirement ceremony for Rip Hamilton at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, CT. On Sunday, February 25th, former professional football tight end, Christian Fauria, will be in the spotlight with an autograph session from 11:00am – 12:30pm.
Autograph sessions will be available for guests who purchase an autograph ticket. Autograph ticket holders are welcome to bring their own memorabilia to be signed, but in the event guests don’t have memorabilia, EC3 will provide complimentary 8×10 photo options. Additionally, guests have the option to purchase a photo-op ticket to any of the three sessions. Autograph session tickets are also on sale now via eventbrite.com.
EC3 is set to have more than 150 vendor tables throughout the Earth Ballroom, featuring sports cards, trading card games, Pokémon cards, autographed memorabilia, artwork, Funko Pops and more. Guests can stop by the James Spence Authentication (JSA) table to get their personal autograph collection authenticated. Additionally, authentication and grading service, SGC, will be at the show collecting card submissions for grading; all standard submissions are $15 and have a 5-10 business day turnaround.
For additional information, guests can visit the East Coast Collections Convention website.
