2013-14 Totally Certified Basketball Stars in Contest Edition of Panini Unwrapped

Amid the frenzied goings-on that always piggyback Thanksgiving week, it's safe to say that we have a lot going on here at Panini America HQ right about now. Our highly anticipated 2013 Black Friday promotion is now just a few days away (in fact, we began the iCollectPanini.com portion of the program earlier today), 2013-14 Totally Certified Basketball releases tomorrow and 2013 Totally Certified Football just packed out yesterday.

Amid the frenzied goings-on that always piggyback Thanksgiving week, it’s safe to say that we have a lot going on here at Panini America HQ right about now. Our highly anticipated 2013 Black Friday promotion is now just a few days away (in fact, we began the iCollectPanini.com portion of the program earlier today), 2013-14 Totally Certified Basketball releases tomorrow and 2013 Totally Certified Football just packed out yesterday.

In addition, 2013-14 Dominion Hockey and 2013 America’s Pastime Baseball are in various stages of completion, and we have two recent contests that we’re sending out prizes for this week. And yet, here we are again with another riveting edition of Panini Unwrapped — this one starring the aforementioned 2013-14 Totally Certified Basketball — and another contest.

So, after you’ve watched the following break, stick around to find out how you can win one of five boxes of 2013-14 Totally Certified Basketball.

This is a two-parter and you’ll leave your answers as ONE COMMENT TO THIS POST. Part one is easy if you watched the video, so let’s get that one out of the way: What player appeared on the Totally Gold parallel that Tracy Hackler pulled in this break. For the second part of the contest, we’re rolling out another vaunted Knight’s Lance Scavenger Hunt.

You see the image at the top of this post featuring Hackler and Keith Hower? Well, we’ve taken the liberty of hiding a smaller, perhaps-somewhat-manipulated version of it just one time somewhere in the galleries linked below. Part two of your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the hidden image and tell us on which card image you found it.

We’ll wait to approve all comments until after the entry deadline, which is roughly seven hours from right now — TONIGHT (November 26) at 11:59 p.m. CST – so your comment will appear to you as “pending moderation.” That’s our way of protecting your answers to this contest so that everyone else can’t see them. To be eligible to win, please keep your answers to yourself until after the deadline. We want to reward those folks who’ve taken the time and effort to watch the video and find the hidden image.

We’ll place all correct entries into an online randomizer and award five winners with a box of 2013-14 Totally Certified Basketball. Just to be clear, the image you’re looking for is the one that appears as the lead image of this post.

You’re galleries are linked below. Good luck and thanks, as always, for participating.
