Circle August 7th on your calendar. Local card shops will be handing out free packs of 2021 Topps National Baseball Card Day cards. With a $10 purchase (any product), you will also receive a special NBCD Fernando Tatis card (according to one of my LCS' Facebook posts and a different card the week after). The list of participating card shops can be found HERE. Here's the checklist for the 30-card set:

Topps is also distributing NBCD cards at MLB ballparks around the country. These cards are likely to be different from those given away at the card shops. (I've already got my tickets to the Saturday, Aug. 7 Dodgers game vs. the Angels.)

More details can be found HERE.

So how do you like the design? Will you be going to your LCS (or MLB ballpark) to get some of these cards?

I like the look of them, but once again this year I won't be able to make it to the LCS or the ballpark. Ironically, my closest LCS is closer to the ballpark than to me, so it would have been a nice double dip. Just not "in the cards" for me this weekend.

Closest store isn't super close to me, but I'm needing supplies, so maybe this weekend is a good time to go get some.

Didn't realize that my team had their giveway this last weekend.  Not even seeing anyone selling them on Ebay.

Thanks for this, just nice to get a list of stores that I know actually exist in MA. 

A visit to my LCS was already scheduled for this Saturday. My local team has moved away in 2004 and the nearest stadium is 300 miles one way (that's a bit far to go for one free pack).

I thought it might be helpful to bump this to the top of the forum to remind people.  Thanks for posting the other day.  I made a note of it and hit up the two LCS today.  Got the Tatis Jr card and two packs of the NBCD cards which I haven't opened yet.

I will be posting a bunch of these for trade.

I just got myself a complete set with Tatis.

Happy National Baseball Card Day!  My LCS forgot to get them ordered!  Serious bummer!!  My streak of many years, having this set put together may be over - for now . . .

Felix, maybe it is time to check for another LCS. ;)

More seriously, the card design is no surprise typical for Topps current issues and I  can be wrong, but it seems that the pictures are better looking this year. They're about to itch me enough into starting to build current year sets instead of older releases.
