Back from the 2013 Las Vegas Industry Summit with lots of stuff! PICS INSIDE!

[thedarkbrown]

The 2013 Industry Summit is a sports cards and collectibles summit of all major players in the sports card and collectible industry. The event inlucdes manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Retailers pay $350 each to attend.

We went for the first time and just got back yesteday. I won't bore you with specifics so if you want to know anything please ask.

To summarize, we walked away with well over $1000 worth of "stuff" that was given away to attendees as promos and prize giveaways. Here are some stuff that we left with:

• 1 box of 2012 Leaf Inscriptions (paid $80). Pulled a 1/1 printing plate of Robert Griffin III inscribed "2011 AP Player of the year"
• 2 Panini Black Boxes - Hits were 2012 Panini Andrew Luck Auto/Patch 1/1. Any clue how much this is worth? and Emmitt Smith 2012 Black dual patch #'d 1/1
• 12-13 Panini Timeless Treasures Basketball tin. Opened but can't remember what we pulled.
• 2012 SP Authentic Football box
• 2013 Topps Heritage box
• 17 packs of 2013 Topps Series 1 packs
• The Walking Dead Season 1 Rick's First Kill Wardrobe card #'d 001/175

It was a surprise appearance that wasn't announed until Leaf's corporate address. However, they said something along the lines of Frank Thomas being the face of Leaf referencing his 1990 leaf card.

You can see an example of the 1960 Leaf promo cards w/ auto here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-LEAF-FRANK-THOMAS-AUTO-1960-PREVIEW-TRADE-SUMMIT-SPECIAL-COOL-ON-CARD-/400442176671?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item5d3c36b49f

We had one where he just signed it, then another that I had inscribed "The Big Hurt"

No, the summit is not open to the public, it's only for retailers. The Rick Grimes is for sale. I will probably list it for 200-300 and field offers. These cards were originally included in Season 1 binders and are now extremely hard to find. This one is #'d 001/175 and was only given out at this industry summit. It also has a seam of the costume so it looks awesome!

Saw Frank Thomas at a tri-star show about 4 or 5 years ago.....wanted him to inscribe the big hurt and he said....couldn't do it. Best regards, David

That stinks! He must've been under some sort of contract at the time. Interestingly enough, Upper Deck also had him signing for their diamond dealers. Leaf announced him first and held their signing first. Don't know what was up with that.

Oh, and to add to the list of stuff that we got, my wife won an uncut sheet from Topps (don't know which sport or product yet), and a Lebron James floor card from Cardboard Connection, both via twitter.
