Saturday - National Packs

Stackfan · 07-08-2024, 04:09 PM

Was hoping to get some feedback….I can only make it to the national on Saturday, the last day of show. Is it safe to say, the decent blowout/show floor deals on wax will be gone? Along with that, the good wax that redeemable for the National packs and/or national packs gone?? Or do they allocate a set amount per day?

Was on the fence with a one day trip 3-4 hours each way. Weds may be an option but again long drive for it only being open 4 hours. Would need to take that day off as well. Saturday would work better.

The national packs and the fanatics boxes were probably my favorite things from the event last year. The singles were great to see, but not much that was right for my PC within a reasonable price point for what I collect.

Sunday is the last day.

It's hard to answer your question though because we don't know what wax will be connected to the promos. If one particular product is hotter than others, say 2023-24 Optic Megas are an option, then those may sell out faster than some Panini USA Stars & Stripes would. Most years it seems there is plenty of wax to go around and packs avaialble through Sunday, but until we see the list, it's hard to say what might be gone by the time you get there.

I know that the onsite dealers usually get product in throughout the show. So even though it may be gone by Thursday, they may get some back by Saturday. But as noted above, it depends on the packs and the product connected to the promotion. The F1 packs went fast and were not available by Saturday, but the Topps baseball, football and soccer were plenty by Saturday.

Thanks for the feedback. I mainly collect basketball, so yeah that could be a little hit or miss, but sounds like there should still be something decent available.

Good to know on Sunday too.

Thanks!
