The 2019 National Sports Collectors Convention is the largest sports collectibles show in the world and you’re invited to help celebrate Upper Deck’s 30th Anniversary! The trading card giant is the leader in fan engagement and will be running a variety of promotions at the 2019 NSCC that collectors will love! Make your travel plans to be in Rosemont, IL from Wednesday, July 31 – Sunday, August 4, 2019 to take part in the show!
VIP’s can score a special 5-card set from Upper Deck made exclusively for the NSCC. Players will include Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Serena Williams, Ben Simmons and DeAndre Ayton!
Monumental Multi-Sport is Back!
Monumental returns from Upper Deck Authenticated with 125 blind boxes featuring five (5) signed UDA multi-sport items per box for $1000 plus tax. There will be several spokesperson themed hot boxes where multiple items will be signed by a superstar athlete like Ben Simmons, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Connor McDavid, LeBron James or Michael Jordan. There will also be larger than life redemptions for items too large to fit in the Monumental boxes that will be fulfilled on site! IMPORTANT NOTE: In the past this product has been allocated to a certain number of boxes available each day, that will NOT be the case this year. If you want to grab a Monumental box, make plans to grab one as soon as you arrive as we do not anticipate they will last throughout the weekend!
Watching fan’s reactions to opening Monumental boxes is always awesome!
Wrapper Redemption programs will be available throughout the show for NSCC exclusive Prominent Cuts black packs. Visit an Upper Deck Certified Diamond Dealer in attendance, purchase a sealed hobby box that qualifies for the program and score. We take the wrappers, you keep the cards you opened and you will be gifted a special Upper Deck Black pack that features a bevy of exciting content including Top Shelf NHL Rookie cards and autographs!
