Upper Deck unveils plans for National Sports Collectors Convention

The 36th annual National Sports Collectors Convention is taking place in Chicago this year from July 29 through August 2. With a little more than two months until the show opens, Upper Deck announced this week it’s plans to make the National an extra special one for collectors.

Upper Deck’s Wrapper Redemption Program sees the return of Prominent Cuts as the special set for the National. Packs will have randomly inserted card featuring sports stars from all over. There will be hard to find, limited autograph cards as well as six one-of-one cut autographs of deceased Chicago sports icons.

Collectors just need to purchase five (5) packs of 2014-15 NHL Fleer Showcase, 2014-15 NHL O-Pee-Chee Platinum, 2014-15 NHL Masterpieces, 2014-15 NHL SP Authentic, 2015 Goodwin Champions or 2015 Upper Deck Dinosaurs to receive one (1) 2015 Upper Deck Prominent Cuts Promotional Pack. Collectors just need to purchase one (1) pack of 2014-15 NHL SP Game-Used or 2014-15 NHL UD Premier to receive three (3) 2015 Upper Deck Prominent Cuts Promotional Packs. These packs must be purchased from a Certified Diamond Dealer who will provide collectors with an Upper Deck issued voucher for the redemption program. The program will begin at 10:00 a.m. each day starting on Thursday and run as long as supplies last. Collectors can take advantage of the promotion up to four times per person, per day.

Convention attendees that decide to break of case of select Upper Deck products purchased from a Certified Diamond Dealer will receive a special bonus as well. Case breakers will get ten of the 2015 Upper Deck Prominent Cuts Promotional Packs; one Case Breaker Raffle Ticket good for a random memorabilia item, premium hobby pack/box, a premium trading card or Prominent Cuts VIP Autograph Card.

Dave & Adam’s is an Upper Certified Diamond Dealer, so you’ll be able to buy the qualifying packs or cases right from our booth.

Anyone that purchases a VIP admission package to the National will receive a special five-card Prominent Cuts VIP set featuring Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Patrick Kane, Michael Jordan and Jerome Bettis.

Upper Deck will also be giving away ten spots to a case break of 2014-15 Upper Deck Premier Hockey. UD will hold a “Random Acts of Kindness” scavenger hunt on Friday with 25 sealed envelopes hidden throughout the show. On Saturday, they will be accepting expired redemption cards to be entered in a raffle for 100 different prize cards.
