UPPER DECK KIDS (www.upperdeckkids.com)
This is Upper Deck's website for kids. You've probably seen it advertised on tv, in magazines, and in card packs. It's a nice, interactive site with games, message boards, and all sorts of card and product info. Most importantly (and most fun!), every Upper Deck card has a code on its back that you can redeem for points on this website. Those points can then be converted into prizes. One of our customers redeemed 750,000 points (it's possible!) and chose a football hand signed by all top 30 2008 football draft picks, so there are some pretty amazing prizes to be had.

There are also special promotions and raffles that Upper Deck offers on this site. In fact, no one knows this better than Sportscard Playground's own Richie Sliwinski. He was the GRAND PRIZE winner of Upper Deck's "Lucky Shot Sweepstakes". Richie and his dad were flown, all expenses paid, from Philly to Detroit to see Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Richie won this awesome prize by clicking on the "Promotions link" on the Upper Deck Kids website and entering the sweepstakes. Lucky things can actually happen to people we know!

TOPPS TOWN (www.toppstown.com)
Topps' new Topps Town website allows you to make your own clubhouse, create your own sports avatar, and play games. Special Topps Town cards are inserted in many 2008 packs. These cards give you codes to earn points on this site.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED KIDS (www.sikids.com)
Another great website, geared exclusively for kids, is Sports Illustrated Kids. Kids can follow all of their favorite teams' standings, scores, schedules, and more; as well as watch sports videos and play games. It's a website worth checking out.
