Whatnot Hosts GOAT Giveaway at the National Sports Collectors Convention

Whatnot will hold the biggest sports card giveaway of all time

Find the Golden Ticket for a chance to win some of the world’s most iconic sports cards

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Whatnot, the largest independent live shopping platform in the U.S., will be hosting the biggest sports card giveaway of all time on Saturday, July 30 at 2 pm ET at the National Sports Collectors Convention (NSCC) in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Whatnot will give away 60 packs of cards, which include some of the most iconic sports cards of all time. Collectors have the ability to win packs from two sealed boxes – the 1986 Fleer Basketball and the 2003 Topps Chrome Basketball box, which could potentially include highly coveted Michael Jordan and LeBron James rookie cards. If other highly coveted cards are in the packs, PSA will be on-site at the NSCC to same-day grade select big hits and add value to the cards when pulled. Of note, a PSA 10 Michael Jordan’s rookie card last sold for $204k, while a PSA 10 LeBron James’ Refractor card from 2003 last sold for $48k.

Sports card enthusiasts can tune in to Whatnot on the day-of, either from home or in person, for their chance to win. The breakdown of the giveaway is as follows:

• 37 winners chosen during the livestream from the main stage of The National on the Ripping Wax Whatnot account
• 18 winners chosen via various giveaways from Whatnot’s NSCC booth
• 5 winners chosen during a pre-national livestream on July 21st on the Ripping Wax Whatnot account

“We’re thrilled to host the biggest, potentially life-changing, sports card giveaway of all time,” said Eric Shemtov, Head of Sports at Whatnot. “We can't wait to bring the Whatnot experience to life at NSCC and connect with the community of collectors and enthusiasts who make the hobby as exhilarating as it is.”

In addition to the giveaway, Whatnot is partnering with RippingWax Inc to host a 5,500 sq ft space inside the RippingWax Breakers Pavilion, holding the largest open floor booth space at the event. The footprint, which includes booths #5000-5004, will mimic the Atlantic City boardwalk with streaming booths where guests can ask questions, sign up, and join as sellers, and activation booths where guests can enjoy carnival-themed games.
