Okay, folks, gather around! I’ve got a story to tell you about my adventure at the Fanatics Fest in New York City. This thing happened from June 20th to 22nd, 2025, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride!

So, first things first, I got wind of this Fanatics Fest NYC thing. It’s basically a huge gathering for sports fans and collectors. I’m a big sports guy, always have been, always will be. And I heard some big names in sports were gonna be there. Naturally, I was in. It was like a dream come true for a fan like me.
I looked up the details and found out it was happening at the Javits Center, which is at 429 11th Ave. Easy enough, I know that place like the back of my hand.
The first thing I did was get ready. I packed my stuff, I did not have to worry about what kind of bags to take. I found out they allowed bags, just had to go through a quick search. No biggie. I was so excited to make this happen.
When I arrived, oh boy, the place was buzzing! People everywhere, all hyped up about sports. There were collectors, dealers, and just regular fans like me. I walked around, soaking it all in. It was like a one-stop shop for everything a sports nut could ever want.
- Trading cards: You name it, they had it. Vintage, new releases, special editions, the whole shebang.
- Memorabilia: Signed jerseys, balls, helmets, pictures. I even saw a pair of game-worn shoes from one of my favorite players!
- Meeting the stars: This was the best part. I got to meet some of my sports heroes, got some autographs, and even snapped a few selfies.
I spent hours just wandering around, talking to people, and checking out all the cool stuff. I even managed to snag a few rare trading cards that I’d been looking for. Score!

The whole atmosphere was electric. Everyone was friendly, sharing their stories and passion for sports. I felt like I was part of something special, a real community. I spent the whole day there, from morning till night. I made some new friends, got some cool stuff, and made memories that I’ll cherish forever.
By the end of the third day, I was exhausted but in the best way possible. My feet were killing me, but my heart was full. I had an amazing time at Fanatics Fest, and I’m already looking forward to the next one!
So, if you’re a sports fan or a collector, you’ve gotta check out Fanatics Fest. It’s an experience you won’t forget. Trust me on this one!
It was a total blast!
Fanatics Fest NYC, it was a knockout. A real home run. A slam dunk. Okay, I’ll stop with the sports metaphors now. But seriously, it was awesome.
See you at the next one!
