Written by: Connor Zimmerlee

As collectors flock to the 2026 National Sports Collectors Convention, they can participate in another exciting edition of Panini America Box Wars.

Several can’t-miss athletes can be pulled across a wide variety of sports, from up-and-coming stars on the diamond to certified hoopers on the hardwood to the game’s best on the pitch, just to name a few.

Throughout the week there will be 22 Box Wars for collectors to participate in with the chance to win a 2026 Panini Black Box or a Panini hobby box valued at $200 or more! All they have to do is secure their box and come back during a scheduled Box Wars event at the Panini booth with the box still sealed.
