Sportkings Series E Premium Back Redemption Program

This year Sportkings Series E will have a premium back redemption program.  Inside each pack you will find one premium base card that contains a letter on the back.  For those collectors that collect all the letters and spell out the word “SPORTKINGS” you will be able to take part in this program.

• Collect the cards that spell “SPORTKINGS” once, and you will receive a 1/10 Premium Sportkings Quad Memorabilia Card.
• Collect the cards that spell “SPORTKINGS” twice, and you will receive a 1/1 Premium Sketch card.
• Collect the cards that spell “SPORTKINGS” five times, and you will receive a 1/1 Premium Art Card painted by Jared Kelley.

Sportkings will need you to send in the premium base cards you’ve collected in order for you to qualify.  They will continue this program until June 30, 2013.

I think this is a great way to increase the value of their base cards.  Sportkings base cards always carry a premium, especially when they initially hit the secondary market, but this should help the value even more.  At least until the program ends.  The only bad thing about this is that you will not receive your base cards back.  For address information on where you should send your premium base cards, click here.  Sportkings will release a checklist of all the cards involved within this program before Series E comes out.

Sportkings Series E will release on May 3, 2012.  This afternoon they announced the base card checklist.  I’m looking forward to seeing the cut signature checklist.  They have a section called “Top 50 Broadcasters” and I’m hoping former Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas is included.  I love the artwork on these cards.

Strasburg’s Harrisburg Senator’s Team Set Card

MiLB team sets are not usually in high demand.  Some people don’t even consider them collectible and treat them more like cheap stadium souvenirs.  But then you have those collectors that want anything and everything with their player on it.  They often can be confusing because they aren’t distributed everywhere and many player checklists lack to include these team set cards.

Right now, one of the most popular MiLB team sets getting attention on the internet is the 2010 Harrisburg Senator’s set.  Baseball’s #1 prospect, Stephan Strasburg, is featured in it and people have been grabbing them up.  If Strasburg makes his way up to The Nationals soon, this could very well be his only MiLB team set card.  Today, 2010 Bowman started to hit the market and Strasburg’s cards have been going through the roof.  You would have to be crazy to purchase a Strasburg card, especially and autograph right now from the 2010 Bowman set.

The 2010 Harrisburg Senator’s team set includes the following players/coaches/trainers:

• STEPHEN STRASBURG
• DREW STOREN
• MATT CHICO
