Omg Best Npn Ever!

[Eric Draven]

Well I am sure someone has gotten something better, but finally I get a NPN envelope from Upper Deck today, it is for the 2008 set, so I open it up and inside is the usual letter saying 'Congrats, blah blah blah' and it is signed personally by the quality assurance person, so I get to the card which is in a thick magnet holder, and I look at the back and it says:

Congrats you have received a card with a piece of Event-Worn NFL memorabilia of Kevin O'Connell. So I'm look cool the ROOKIE QB for the Patriots, not to mention that I couldn't see the front of it because another white cardboard card was in front of it, so I open it up, and was amazed to see THIS! BEST NPN OF MY LIFE!!

KEVIN O'CONNELL 08 SPX RC ROOKIE WINNING MATERIALS TRIPLE PATCH 11/15! :dance:

Not sure it's the best NPN ever but it is pretty sweet.

I say that because I saw this was on another site:

2008 UD Premier Football Premier Signature Foursomes #'d to 15 of...........
Barry Sanders, Franco Harris, Gale Sayers, and Jim Brown!

I got one from UD as well it's in the NPN's received thread.

Whats NPN mean?

 

[RAMMSTEIN]

I pulled this off another site....it may not be 100% accurate but it'll give you an idea.

1. What does NPN stand for?
NPN = No Purchase Necessary

2. What companies offer free cards?
Topps, Donruss, Upper Deck

3. What do I need to do to get free cards then?
On each pack of cards, there is listed an address for the NPN. (There are different address for Hobby,Retail and Jumbo Packs)
You send in a 3x5 index card with your name and address on it, in a #10 envelope (and for you Canadians, you must answer the skill question) and mail it off to the address given. There is a limit on how many you can send in, so don't go crazy sending in 100 of 'em. Upper Deck NPN is online now.

4. What is a #10 envelope?
A #10 envelope is a normal business size envelope. I don't have the measurements at the moment, but will add them at a future date.

5. What kind of cards do I get?
From what I understand, the 3x5 cards get put into a drawing and are pulled on the availability of cards. So, you may not get a card, or you may get multiple cards. Hard to say. You will get one card in the mail in a white bubble envelope. Base cards, SP's, inserts, parallels, refractors, GU, and Auto's can be gotten.

6. Does it have to be a #10 envelope or a 3x5 card?
According to Topps, yes. Simple as that.

7. How fast to I get my cards?
There is a cutoff date for each product (Listed on the packs). Usually 6-8 weeks after the cutoff date is when to expect them.

Nice hit and since UD limits their NPN's congrats on getting your card. About a year ago my daughter hit a NPN from UD, a Julius Erving Sweet Shot autograph numbered to 25.
