“We’re always excited to participate in the NBA Starting 5 promotion every year, and 2015 was no different,” said Sports Cards Plus owner Charlie DiPietro, whose store submitted more 2014-15 Panini America NBA wrappers than any other store to win the grand prize. “Being notified that we won the grand prize left me temporarily speechless. This is truly a defining moment for Sports Cards Plus, and we can’t wait to show our loyal customers and sports fans in this area our redesigned store in the coming months.”
Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for complete details on Sports Cards Plus’ grand reopening event coming later this fall and including a free NBA player appearance, Panini America promotions and more.
Thanks to Panini America and The NBA for this amazing honor. And most of all, thanks to all my customers who helped Sports Cards Plus win this contest.
Congratulations, Charlie! On a side note, soccer fans around the globe await your YouTube video from tomorrow’s exclusive 2015 Donruss Soccer Sneak Peek event, showing as many great hits with glorious close-up as possible. Thank you very much! 🙂
Congrats to Charlie and the customers of Sports Cards Plus who will all get to enjoy the grand prize!
