Upper Deck Redemption Packs Include Signed Jordan, LeBron, Orr, More

Upper Deck will randomly insert autographed cards of Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, Robert Griffin III and other past and present stars into its wrapper redemption sets at this year's National Sports Collectors Convention.

The company says collectors who purchase five hobby packs of selected Upper Deck products from a Certified Diamond Dealer will get a voucher from Upper Deck. Bring that voucher and the packs to the Upper Deck booth at the Baltimore Convention Center and you will receive one 2012 NSCC Upper Deck pack in exchange for the voucher and wrappers.

The exchange program begins at noon each day at the show, slated for August 1-5. The company encourages collectors to stop by the booth before you purchase packs to confirm they still have them. Collectors are limited to claim five redemption packs, per person, per day. There will be a different five card set available each day. The checklists are as follows:

Thursday, August 2
NSCC-1 – Michael Jordan
NSCC-2 – Thierry Henry
NSCC-3 – Alonzo Mourning
NSCC-4 – Roger Staubach
NSCC-5 – Cody Buckel
