The kids will have something -- something that's only for them -- to look forward to at The National next week.

Details are still coming together, but at least one major card manufacturer (Hint: Panini America) will have a promotion just for kids who collect at the show that tips off in Rosemont, Ill., on Wednesday.

Kids are encouraged to stop by the Blowout Cards booth (No. 854) for the inside information on where to go at the show -- and as an added plus, we'll have free T-shirts for all kids under age 12, too.
