Before Packout: Panini America Catches Up with 2014 Certified Football (Gallery)

On a trip to the Panini America production facility yesterday to capture the initial wave of packout for 2013-14 Immaculate Basketball (which looks spectacular, by the way), I came across a few sleeves of 2014 Certified Football autographs patiently awaiting their own turn in the packout queue. So in the name of doing the right thing, I snapped as many pics as I could of the cards packed carefully in those sleeves to give you an early idea of what to expect.

Keep in mind that the following gallery includes images from just a few sleeves and is by no means everything that the redesigned 2014 Certified Football has in store for collectors when it releases next Friday. The images do reveal an early look at the fabled Fabric of the Game insert, Freshman Fabric and some of the autographed parallels. Enjoy the early look and stay tuned for complete coverage of the 2014 Certified Football packout process in the coming days.
