A Panini America 2018 Father’s Day Update: Base Set, Rookie Cards Revealed (Gallery)

If the country’s finest sellers of bad ties, “World’s Greatest Dad” coffee mugs and designer boxers have experienced a significant slump in the last six years (especially in the country’s hottest collecting markets), well, we apologize. Indeed, since bursting onto the scene in the summer of 2012, Panini America’s annual Father’s Day hobby shop promotion has fundamentally altered the way kids and their moms shop for Dad on his special day.

If the country’s finest sellers of bad ties, “World’s Greatest Dad” coffee mugs and designer boxers have experienced a significant slump in the last six years (especially in the country’s hottest collecting markets), well, we apologize. Indeed, since bursting onto the scene in the summer of 2012, Panini America’s annual Father’s Day hobby shop promotion has fundamentally altered the way kids and their moms shop for Dad on his special day.

With the bold introduction six years ago of a wrapper-redemption program intended to replicate the wild success of the company’s Black Friday promotion, Panini America officials transformed Father’s Day — traditionally a sleepy Sunday afternoon in most of America’s hobby shops — into a bona fide collecting holiday. Along the way, the program has strengthened the unique family bond that collecting creates between a father and his children.

In 2018, the Panini America Father’s Day phenomenon returns. Boasting a holiday-exclusive card set featuring a plethora of unique memorabilia and autograph inclusions, this year’s offering looks to be one of the most content-rich yet. The 2018 Father’s Day set should arrive in participating hobby shops starting next week and we’ll have additional details on the program specifics in the coming days. To help properly prepare you for this year’s special set, we’re going to start previewing the goods right here on The Knight’s Lance, beginning with today’s glimpse at the 2018 Father’s Day base and Rookie Card sets.

Enjoy the gallery and stay tuned over the next several days for complete previews of the set’s base inserts, spectacular parallels, autographs and memorabilia cards.

  1. Makes me sad that the shop I used to go to vacation to and participate in this promo with closed. I will hopefully find another way to participate this year.
