I have posted the official thread on the buddy system at nationals

[url]http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball/539383-official-34th-annual-nationals-convention-buddy-thread.html#post5207002[/url]

Im going on va-cay this year the week the nationals are so im definitely going to the one in cleveland next year if im not mistaken.

30 days.......

I keep having dreams about nationals. I think I need to quit watching the videos for a few.

Football - no surprise here, although I thought Prime Signatures would be listed. Good to be able to open up the new stuff.

2013 Score Football Jumbo Box= 4 Redemption Packs

2013 Panini Prestige Football Hobby Box= 4 Redemption Packs

2013 Panini Elite Football Hobby Box= 5 Redemption Packs


Hockey - Really thought limited Hockey would be here. Not great choices. Will probably avoid busting hockey which is unfortunate for me since I open more Hockey than anything else.

2012/13 Score Hockey Jumbo Box= 4 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Rookie Anthology Hobby Box= 5 Redemption Packs


Baseball - Blah. Really? No Prime Cuts? Thought at least Prizm would be on here.

2013 Panini Golden Age Baseball Hobby Box= 4 Redemption Packs

2013 Panini USA Champions Baseball Hobby Box= 4 Redemption Packs


Basketball - Awesome selection and lots of value here. I have a feeling lots of Basketball gets ripped this year.

2012/13 Panini Basketball Hobby Box= 4 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Crusade Basketball Hobby Box= 8 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Brilliance Basketball Hobby Box= 8 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Past & Present Basketball Hobby Box= 8 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Gold Standard Baskethall Hobby Box= 8 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Signatures Basketball Hobby Box= 10 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Marquee Basketball Hobby Box= 10 Redemption Packs

2012/13 Panini Momentum Basketball Hobby Box=15 Redemption Packs

thanks to the member on the football discussion forum that posted this.

I'm hoping they add something else. That's kind of underwhelming.

[QUOTE=Bottom9th;5215255]I'm hoping they add something else. That's kind of underwhelming.[/QUOTE]

IMO either Upper Deck or PressPass is leading so far with their nationals promos and VIP packs

Yeah you might be right. I was thinking about doign the VIP event but if I have to spend $6500 on what they listed I might rethink it. I mainly do Football with a little baseball. I don't know if the value is there in basketball.

im in the same boat as you. I was looking forward to the VIP Party until the details were released and im not going to be there saturday anyways

Yeah I'm waiting to hear if the $6500 can be any Panini Hobby product and not just the redemptions. Plus I want to know who the guests are first. If I'm going to drop that kind of coin I want to maximize it.

BTW I may be selling my Tristar Authentication stickers, parking pass (im already staying across the street) and maybe auto tickets for the VIP guests. Not sure but most likely

I sold my autos & Nascar promos, but have all of the other promos if anyone is interested. Also if you are going Saturday and Sunday, I will sell my VIP admission badge on Saturday afternoon for Sunday admission for $10.

Will be there along with a couple friends. Also going to a Cubs game that weekend!

I will be there wed and Thursday. If anyone needs admission for the weekend PM me since both me and my cousin won't be there and have tickets to get rid of

I'm headed to my 1st National this year and will spend a day or two at the show. Not sure what days I'll be attending yet, though. Do any veteran attendees have advice regarding the best days to go?

when I used to go for a day trip I found Thursday the best for what I was looking for...less crowded and nearly 1st dibs on stuff.

[QUOTE=Gmrson;5244105]when I used to go for a day trip I found Thursday the best for what I was looking for...less crowded and nearly 1st dibs on stuff.[/QUOTE]

I agree with this, This will be our (my wife and me) 8th national and we have found Thursday and Friday are good days to find things we are looking for and less crowded then Saturday and Sunday.

[B]Anyone going just wednesday/thursday? Im looking to pick up a VIP Pass EARLY Friday morning (before show opens (vip time )). If anyone has this scenario and wants to sell, PM ME [/B]

Twenty Four days!!!!!!
