Sportskings and Ringside Boxing National Plans

Sportskings has announced redemption plans and contests for the upcoming National show in Baltimore August 4 to 8.

A box topper redemption will give collectors an exclusive card made specifically for the show. Below are two examples featuring UFC champion Georges St-Pierre and former home run king Mark McGwire.

National VIPs will also find five cards from an exclusive Sportskings set. But building the set is going to be tricky as there's 25 cards in the set, two of which will be short printed. Here's the checklist:

1 Royce Gracie
2 Duke Snider
3 Misty May-Treanor
4 Kerri Walsh
5 Scotty Nguyen
6 Wilt Chamberlain
7 Renaldo Nehemiah
8 Dennis Rodman
9 Warren Sapp
10 Bret Hart
11 Joe Sakic
12 Muhammad Ali (SP)
13 Althea Gibson
14 Bernie Parent
15 Georges St-Pierre
16 Mark McGwire
17 Eusebio
18 Joe Greene
19 Ronnie Coleman
20 Scott Hamilton
21 Curly Neal
22 Bob Lilly
23 Bruce Lee (SP)
24 Bruno Sammartino
25 Laffit Pincay Jr.

Five cards from the set will be inserted in each VIP gift bag.

Finally, during each day of the show, the Sportkings booth will be doing draws for memorabilia featuring autographed trunks from the likes of Vinny Paz, Ray Mancini, Lennox Lewis, Hurricane Carter and more. Opening a box of Ringside Boxing KO Edition at the booth will provide two entries, while a box of TKO Edition is good for one entry. Entries are good for each day's draws.

For those going to the National, you can find them at booth #2233.

Razor Hosts Lisa Gleave at the National

The Razor booth will be hosting an autograph signing with Let's Make a Deal's Lisa Gleave at this year's National in Cleveland. She'll be signing four different Bench Warmer redemption cards including one that Razor says will be "the CRAZIEST Bench Warmer redemption card ever!!"

The autographs will be via redemption and available all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Collectors will get one of three redemptions at the Razor booth by opening up either a box of pre-2008 Bench Warmer product or 10-plus packs of Bench Warmer cards from 2008 or 2009. Once you've got all three redemptions you get the fourth, an in-person autographed Kiss card where Gleave will sign and plant a smacker on the card right before your very eyes. Talk about creating cardboard jealousy.
