Can’t Make It to The National? Then Panini America is Bringing The National to You.

ROSEMONT, Ill. — Look, we here at Panini America realize that not everyone can make it to the 32nd Annual National Sports Collectors Convention. We understand that and we sympathize with those loyal collectors who would love to be here but simply can’t be.

So we’re bringing a little bit of The National to you.

When no one was looking earlier today, I snagged a few of our highly coveted silver-foil wrapper-redemption packs that have kept the entire show buzzing since the doors first opened on Wednesday afternoon. And some lucky collectors enjoying this week’s extensive coverage of the show through The Knight’s Lance are going to win them.

All you have to do to be eligible to win a pack or two is simply comment on any of the National photos or videos we’ve posted so far — and will continue to post — this week. That’s it.

When we return to the office next week, we’ll select a fair amount of winning commenters at random and send you some of these show-stopping packs.

To make entering the contest from home as easy as possible, we’ve posted links to our National coverage so far below. We’ll add the most recent links to this list in the coming days. So sit back, enjoy the sights and sounds of the 32nd Annual National Sports Collectors Convention and leave comments to your heart’s content.

We’ll do the rest.

Thanks for reading and good luck.
