Hopefully this thread will help player collectors, such as myself, locate these hard-to-find cards of their player. These Donruss/Leaf cards were given away at the 2002 National in Chicago and the 2003 National in Atlantic City, and are embossed with the National logo and serial numbered to 5. Some are even serial numbered to 1.

Also hard to find are the Chicago Collection/Chicago Sun Times Collection cards. These cards were among the first in a project in which Donruss/Playoff unveiled a show-exclusive program. At the March 2002 Chicago Sun-Times Show, if a collector opened a box at the Donruss/Playoff booth -- they received a card from what Donruss/Playoff called the "Chicago Collection". Donruss/Playoff created a limited amount of singles from selected products and sequentially numbered each card to 5. The cards were distributed on a strict product-specific basis. For example, collectors who opened 2001 Donruss packs or boxes in front of a Donruss representative were be rewarded with the appropriate number of 2001 Donruss Chicago Collection cards sequentially numbered out of 5.

As the years go by these cards become harder and harder to find. If you have any, please post what you have as you'll probably help a player collector cross off another card on their want list.

Thanks!

I need all of the Canseco National promo's. At one time I owned a George Brett and the PO lost it when I traded it to a player collector.

I've got these two:


2003 Studio Atlantic City National #182 Ray Durham 3/5
2003 Leaf Atlantic City National #130 Tony Womack 2/5

Not exactly the most highly-collected players. I'm very much looking for these Trent Dilfer show promos:

2001 Absolute Memorabilia Chicago Collection #/5 #11
2001
Donruss Classics Chicago Collection #/5 #99
2001
Playoff Preferred Chicago Collection #/5 #48
2001
Score Chicago Collection #/5 #19
2002
Donruss Elite College Ties National Promos w/Carr #/5 #CT3
2002
Gridiron Kings Chicago Collection #/5 #85
2003
Playoff Prestige Atlantic City National Promos #/5 #127
2003
Score Atlantic City National Promos #/5 #242

I didn't try real hard to get these when they came out because really they just took some already existing cards and stamped them, they are hardly different from back in the day where card companies would stamp 1 card from each pack you opened at their booth. Since it has become more and more difficult to find cards I need, I changed my mind and put them on my wantlist.
