National Trading Card Day

[ewokpelts]

Hi.
Not sure if this is parking lot material, but April 3 is National Trading Card Day. If you go into a participating Card Store, you'll get a free 50 card set from all the major card manufacturers.....FREE. No catch. Free cards. All you gotta do is show up. Most card stores will also have other promotions, but if all you want is a free set, you just walk right in and ask for it.
There's a list of store at www.nationaltradingcardday.com

p.s. I suggest you tell all your friends/family/ect.....If this promotion is to succeed, people have to come in.

Cool idea.

Marvel and DC have been doing this with comics for the past 3 or 4 years. Nice way to get kids back into cards.

Although there's a Prior card and four Nascar cards in the set. As I look at it some more, I think I'll just pass.

I remember my friends and I used to burn all of our cub cards on the grill. We'd then proceed by giving the ashes to a cub fan.

It was funny, right after seeing this thread, i went to the mall and they were having a card show. They had signs up about this card day and all that. I ended up buying an Esteban Loaiza autographed minor league card, 4 Franks, 1 Carlton Fisk, 1 Borchard and Olivo card, 1 card of just Borchard and 1 of just Olivo, all for the low price of $6.25. It's nice to say i have an Esteban autograph, and I just love colecting rookie cards, too bad they didnt have anyone but those 2, wright, malone, and a few no namers i cant even remember.
