There’s something special about The National. If Comic-Con had a sibling that hoarded PSA slabs and could quote Beckett values from memory, this would be it. The energy, the elbow-to-elbow dealer tables, the thrill of finding that card—every corner of the convention center hums with stories and deals waiting to be sealed.

That’s exactly why WAX is here.

This week in Chicago, we’re joining thousands of collectors, dealers, and die-hards at the National Sports Collectors Convention. But we’re not just walking the floor—we’re showing up with a little style, a little substance, and a whole lot of love for the community.

Because if there’s one thing WAX understands better than most insurance companies, it’s what makes a collector tick.


Not Your Average Business Card

To commemorate the event—and have some fun while we’re at it—we made 300 limited-edition business cards that double as oversized collectible trading cards. We call them our “Vault Squad.” Each one celebrates a different personality in the collector ecosystem… and maybe even a bit of ourselves.

1. Mintkeeper (Ultra Rare)
A midnight-blue owl rocking a pocket watch and a WAX binder? That’s no accident. Mintkeeper is our wise protector of provenance—the nod to your perfectly preserved inventory and WAX’s promise to help safeguard it. Ultra Rare because, well, the right kind of coverage is.

2. The Ripper (Rare)
This green-tongued lizard is pure chaos and joy. It’s that friend who always opens the box instead of keeping it sealed. The Ripper was born for the adrenaline of The National—ripping packs, chasing grails, and asking, “What if…” with every tear.

3. Grailbeast (Epic)
Grailbeast doesn’t whisper. He stomps in with fire-breathing confidence and a wall of slabs strapped to his back. A tribute to the dealers who’ve seen it all and the collectors chasing their next crown jewel. He’s epic because some grails really do earn the title.
