BlowoutThe 37th National Sports Collectors Convention is nearly here and, while Atlantic City, N.J., will be the center of the collecting universe, we have to note that the BlowoutCards.com booth (No. 1,220) will be the epicenter of the show at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Why?

Well, some of those boxes — and cases — in our 18 pallets of stuff out on the show floor are part of the largest Blowout giveaways yet in our history at the show. (And show veterans should already know how big they’ve been in the past … this time we’re stealing the show.)

Panini SuperVIP spoils could be yours via BlowoutCards promo

2016pnvip02_zps2npbrrduThis year’s Panini VIP party at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Atlantic City, N.J., will have a Super twist — as in SuperVIPs that get plenty of extras — but BlowoutCards.com wants to help others get in on the action without heading to the coast.

Details have not yet been revealed for the party, but only a handful of SuperVIP tickets will be available.

Each SuperVIP will get 800 silver wrapper redemption packs. They will get double the Gold VIP packs, too, a number that remains elusive (but it will be impressive). They will get two VIP Black Boxes. They will get a set of autographed photos from the athletes in attendance at the party as well as a piece of memorabilia from Panini Authentic and a SuperVIP box.

How is Blowout making this more attainable to you even if you’re not at the show or a VIP?
