Here’s What Your 2019 National VIP Badges Look Like

I wonder if they’ve ever given any thought to randomly including autographs, relics, or vintage cards in these badges?  Honestly, people would probably complain “certain” people were getting the special cards.  Less than two weeks to go until the greatest show in the world celebrates it’s 40th anniversary.

Topps, Leaf, Upper Deck, and Panini all have VIP sets.  Don’t forget to check out my tips on how to get your name on the list to attend the Topps Q&A.

Good luck to everyone going!

’12 National News – Leaf Announces VIP Set & Will Produce Badges

National Badges On Fire

If any collector is lucky enough to be able to attend The National Sports Collectors Convention and purchase a VIP ticket, you know your going to get some exclusive stuff for your collection.  Of all the promos that come in the bag, one of my favorite things that you get are the badges needed to enter the show.  Usually a major manufacturer like Topps, Panini, or Upper Deck will sponsor the badges and place a base card inside.  This past year, Upper Deck did a great job with these badges.  In fact, they did such a good job collectors are purchasing these for their own collection.  You would think that a plain base card stuck between plastic wouldn’t be worth too much, but thats totally wrong.  Just take a look at the long list of badges currently up for sale.  So far only one has sold for $40.00 but thats still a lot for a base card.  I always sell/trade stuff that comes out of the VIP bags, but the badges I’ve always kept.  I own an Andy Pettitte and a Justin Morneau badge like the one pictured below.
