2008 Sportkings Series B


Product

Three packs per box instead of one
Series B will feature three packs per box instead of one. . Each pack will feature two base cards and one insert card. So instead of 7 cards per box as in Series A there will be 9 cards per box in Series B. One of the six base cards per box will be a vintage (mini) base card. This will allow a new group of collectors to begin collecting Sportkings at a lower price point while giving the collector who wants to continue purchasing boxes, a better value.
More Autograph Cards
Series A featured Autograph Cards on a 1.25 per box ratio and Memorabilia Cards at a 1.75 per box ratio. Collectors told us that they would prefer more Sportkings Autograph Cards and we responded by reversing the ratios. The ratios in Series B will be Autograph Cards 1.75 per box and Memorabilia Cards 1.25 per box on average.

Rare Cut Signature Cards
Series B will feature some of the rarest cut signatures in the hobby. There will be six different Cut Signature Insert Sets.
Founding Fathers, Presidents and Players, Vintage Papercuts, Sportkings at the Movies, Papercuts and 1933 The Year.

Each Insert Set features some of the rarest cuts in the hobby. Founding Fathers - John S. Douglas, The Marquis de Queensberry -Boxing's Founder. Sportkings At The Movies - Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson who was portayed in the movie, "The Great White Hope", Vintage Papercuts featuring 1933 Sport King - William Tilden Jr., Papercuts featuring fabled golfer Payne Stewart, Presidents and Players will include Theodore Roosevelt and 1933 The Year (Sport Kings birth year) will feature notable individuals from 1933 including songwriter Irving Berlin.

More Limited Memorabilia Cards
By increasing the number of Autograph Cards in Series B we were able to reduce the number of Memorabilia Cards, thus the production numbers of many of the Memorabilia Inserts have been reduced drastically. Many of the Insert Sets have 9 silver versions and 1 gold. Some have 20 silver versions and 10 gold versions and the least limited insert set has 30 silver versions and 10 gold versions. Compare to Series A and you can see how limited the Memorabilia Cards will be.

Redemptions for 1933 Sport Kings Gum Cards and Pack
Redemption Cards will be in Series B packs to be redeemed for original graded 1933 Sport Kings Gum cards and one lucky collector will receive a Redemption Card for a complete graded pack of 1933 Sport Kings Gum.
