Official event notices and two linked sample card images checked November 6. No artwork republished, event entry, final physical finish, ticket availability, attendance or prize allocation tested.

WHY IT MATTERS
Match OP17-027 to the event-specific sample and award rule. Regional Top 16, Store champion or 64-player Top 2, participation packs and registration opportunities are separate records—not interchangeable promises.

The same code belongs to two different event descriptions
Bandai’s December Treasure Cup notices identify Benn.Beckman OP17-027 in two award routes. The regional Treasure Cup lists the card at Top 16. The Store Treasure Cup lists its version for the champion, with a separate Top 2 rule for a 64-player event. Do not turn either description into an attendance giveaway or assume the two events use the same award threshold.
The official linked sample images share the card name and OP17-027 code, but the regional sample has an ornate patterned outer border while the Store sample has a simpler border. That is a useful visual distinction alongside the event label. It does not, by itself, verify a physical foil process, final production finish, serial numbering or print run.
Participation is a separate part of each prize list
The regional notice lists six booster packs for participation, with the pack varying by event. Its prize ladder separately identifies Event Pack Vol.9 and other rewards at specified placements. The Store notice instead lists Event Pack Vol.8 for participation, with further Vol.8 and Vol.9 awards at its stated placements. These are different components; a participation pack is not the named Beckman card.
Keep the placement and event size with a collection target. The Store notice’s 64-player exceptions change the relevant placement labels, including the Beckman award. A later seller’s reference to “Treasure Cup” or a generic prize-pack photo would not establish which announced route or sample printing the actual card matches. This report has not verified how many events will run or how many cards will be distributed.
Use the right event clock before planning participation
Store Treasure Cup is scheduled December 4–20, 2026 for selected Silver, Gold and Platinum member stores. Its player applications are listed from November 20 at 11 a.m. PST, 2 p.m. EST or 7 p.m. GMT. Those are published application terms, not proof that a place is reserved or that registration has already opened. Confirm the participating store and its actual event details.
The regional page covers December 2026 and January 2027 dates across several territories and directs players to each tournament organizer for ticket sales and listings. It says the displayed application timings are reference guidelines that may vary by organizer. The word “December” in the page title therefore does not make every listed tournament a December event. Do not transfer a Store application time to a regional organizer’s event.
