Dodgers Promo's from the 2017 NSCC -- Beckett, Topps and Panini

The 38th annual National Sports Collectors Convention, dubbed "The National", closed its doors a week ago in Chicago, and it included its fair-share of promotional cards for folks to chase after. First of all, there was a VIP program attendees could join that provided each member exclusive promo cards just for going through the door. Notably, Leaf Trading cards VIP promo featured Vin Scully (you can see that here). Other promo's were available at individual booths -- either as wrapper redemption's, a sale incentive or just for free (if you ask). Below are most of the Dodger promos given out by Beckett, Topps and Panini America that I've been able to track down

First of all, Beckett ran a sort-of scavenger hunt at The National. They produced ten different promos fashioned after their magazine covers, and partnered up with nine different retailers at the show to give them away. Only one of the cards had a Dodger on it, and it happened to also include Aaron Judge as well. See it below. It was handed out by Blowout Cards at the convention. Go here for a complete Beckett promo checklist.

Topps also had a VIP attendee set, but no Dodger was available. There are, however, four current and former Dodgers' available in their Bowman Chrome wrapper redemption program. Check them all out below. Go here for a checklist of 2017 Bowman Chrome NSCC Wrapper Redemption cards.

Panini America also had a wrapper redemption campaign at the show, and unfortunately, they have not yet provided a comprehensive checklist (and I doubt they ever will). So, I've done my best to collect as many images online as possible.

First of all, there are two different packs available -- silver and gold. The silver wrapper redemption packs were available to all attendees at their booth. With the purchase of a particular Panini product through a retailer in the show you received a certain number of silver packs. The gold packs were extremely limited and available only to those who attended their exclusive VIP Party for high rollers. In other words, you had to be a big spender to get on that guest list. Go here for a brief checklist of silver pack cards. Go here for a brief checklist of gold pack cards.
