Press Pass announced its VIP card set for the 30th National Sports Collectors Convention on Wednesday.
The set consists of five Press Pass VIP cards of NASCAR stars with a sixth, the Dale Earnhardt Jr. card above, a redemption that can be found at the company’s booth during the show in late-July in Cleveland. The cards will be stamped “2009 National.”
Also in the set are Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch and rookie Joey Logano.
The sets are available only to VIP or SuperVIP package buyers at the show.

Panini America officials confirmed on Wednesday that the company has inked five of the NBA’s top draft prospects, including projected No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin, to exclusive trading card agreements.
In addition to Griffin, the 6-10 forward from Oklahoma who was largely considered the best player in the country in 2008-09, Panini confirmed deals with Tyler Hansbrough (UNC), Jordan Hill (Arizona), Brandon Jennings (Lottomatica Virtus Roma, Italy) and Hasheem Thabeet (UCONN).
The players and their autographs will be featured in all 2009-10 Panini NBA card products, beginning with Prestige in October; they’ll also appear on select packaging and advertisements throughout the year.
