Those that are already in the fan group have likely seen it.

Freedom Card Board .com presents the 2009 National Sports Card Convention Promotional Card set.

This set includes Matt Wieters, Brett Wallace, Justin Smoak, David Cooper and #1 overall draft pick Tim Beckham (not pictured)

These cards will be available at the National at the Freedom Card Board.com booth, as well as sponsor booths.

Each card has a stated print run of 1500 copies.


For those of you who do not use facebook.

What?!! This will make the values of the Metal cards plummet!

WHEN WILL THIS END?????? AAAAAAAHHH! ::facepalm::

Wow FCB set?

 

[notoriousrmb]

Very nice...but I'd be more excited if current members were able to obtain these instead of only those able to go to the National.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

That's really cool. Can't make it to the National. Might a set or two be held back as a give away down the road? Also, It'll really be interesting to watch the traffic here during and after the National.

they are promotional cards, used to promote the site.

No, they say, all hail gilmo!

Impressive, Chris. I love the direction you are taking the site and the promos to go with it. I won't be at the National this summer even though it's 2 hours away from where I live, but it's a great gesture for those that do go and can pick up the cards.

Have Miggy set at the booth with purple makeup on his eye with the bat, ball and newspaper article about it. I'm sure he would draw a couple of people over just out of pure curiousity.

Great Job Guys!

I think it will be cool to see these on Ebay after the National and to see what kind of secondary market value they have.

Very sharp looking cards.

 

[marterburn]

The design of the cards is great! ...and that's not something I say lightly. The only thing I am not a huge fan of is the layout of the FCB logo. Stylish, but it's bit hard to read.

For those worried about not being able to get the cards at the National...

Have you heard of this thing called ebay?

I'm sure there will be quite a bit of them on there.

this was actually an idea gilmo and I discussed heavily but then I found out I could not make it to the national so the idea was dropped

 

[cgilmo]

I just got word back from the good people at Dave and Adams card world that they would like to be involved.


One of the cards will be available at their table with purchase!


and miggy, no you being at the FCB booth was never an option
