Collectors, rejoice! The day has arrived. 2012 Elite Football launches today, packing acetate Rookie Inscriptions autographs, must-chase Rookie Cards of the top NFL newcomers, some of the most-adored parallels in the football collecting universe and so much other goodness.
And Panini America celebrates Elite’s arrival with this special episode of Panini Unwrapped during which Tracy Hackler and Chris Reed establish what is believed to be a box-breaking record for using the word “nice.” In addition, there’s a must-see blooper reel at the end of the video sure to leave you in stitches.
Oh, and if you want to be eligible to win the hits from this break or a box of 2012 Elite Football, all you have to do is post a link to this video on your Facebook page, Tweet it out or add your own video response to the break on YouTube. (Oh, and after you’ve done any of those things, let us know in the comments section so we can check it out.)
Thanks for watching, and may the rest of your week be truly . . . Elite.

What is going on Tracy good to see you guys breaking some more football. Posted that video to my facebook love the see through cards. Thank again PANINI, MJ
I wish all of the autographed acetate cards were signed on-card, but 4 autos is a pretty nice haul. The Elite Series autos look really sharp. Looks like a fun break…good job guys! I posted a link to the video, Twitter handle @travisstevens81.
I posted it on my twitter page @joshuaring as well as my facebook page!
I must say those 2012 Elite Football cards are really NICE!!! Thank You Folks I’ll be here all night. I just had to get that out of my system. Back to the point my son and I look forward to Elite every season by far our favorite set to collect and has been for many years. We collect the Hit List cards as we are big fans of the defensive side of the ball. It’s a little known fact that defense wins championships/Offense sells football cards:) It’s nice to see the defense get alittle recognition. We look forward to cracking open a box or two. Thanks for the video good stuff guys. We posted a link on our Facebook Page.
Done. L. M. Cherry on Twitter.

You guys are hilarious. Funny stuff as always. And love the break. Elite looks amazing this year~!

I must also say I was a little disappointed in the bloopers though. I was expecting a break out dance performance like in the Bieber break. an ELITE dancing style.
I am curious about something else though..how many boxes did you open during the re shoot and re shoot. Or did you find a way to rewrap each time?
Also loved the GLOW you guys gave Mr. Tebow.
We only busted two boxes. A third one was unwrapped but the packs were not opened. It was a long, weird day yesterday when we filmed that one. We were wither giddy or punch drunk.
Either way Tracy…left us fans with some great entertainment
And shows us also why you have the best job in the world.
Great job with the break as always. Got my eye on that Randle.
Posted the link on my Facebook I hope I win I never win 🙁 nice product

When are you going to release the checklist as well as the number of the acetate autos for the players in the set?
I was wondering the same thing, I’ve been trying to figure out trends based on ebay sales but it’s pretty much impossible!
