The Drool Gallery: 2010 Panini Century Collection (Part 2 of 2)

The legends of America's pastime will play a big part in 2010 Panini Century Collection, the highly anticipated next release in Panini America's popular Americana line that arrives Wednesday. Inspired by that fact, we figured now was the perfect time to preview some of the sweetest baseball cards in the bunch. Enjoy . . . and in case you missed…

Christmas Eve Drool Gallery: 2010-11 Timeless Treasures Basketball

2010-11 Timeless Treasures Basketball, one of the most anticipated, content-rich hoops products of the season, will begin heating up the cold collecting winter when it releases five days into 2011 packing one really big surprise (more on that later). But since we know that some of the only things Panini America collectors love more than the products themselves are the…

A Belated Panini Peek: 2010 Plates & Patches Football

It occurred to me earlier this week after receiving a question regarding preview information for 2010 Panini Plates & Patches Football that The Knight's Lance launched in late October just days after we sent that information to the masses. In other words, the official Panini Peek preview of Plates & Patches never ran on your favorite trading card manufacturer blog.…

Panini America Behind the Scenes: Constructing the Cut Autograph

I happen to share a cubical corner with Carl Braun, so I can tell pretty quickly when the Panini America brand manager is engaged in something that might be of great interest to the collecting masses.  Certainly that was the case last week, when I looked up to see him looking down, intently focused on inspecting the bulging batch of signed documents atop his desk. Turns…

A Day at Packout with Panini America

I didn't make my normal trek to Panini America headquarters in Arlington, Texas, for work on Tuesday morning. Instead, I ventured across town to the city of Allen to spend some quality time witnessing the finer points of trading card production. I left, however, with two huge regrets: One, that I couldn't stay longer -- like, say, two weeks longer; and…

On the Routing Table: Contenders Football, Crown Royale Hockey, Century Collection

I went snooping near the back of the building late Wednesday afternoon to see what I could find that could tide us over during the Thanksgiving holiday. Well, I found a most bountiful harbinger harvest at the trusty routing table, a veritable cornucopia of product-previewing goodness. On this particular afternoon, I was treated to pre-production paperwork for premier Panini America…

On the Routing Table Today: Limited, Century Collection, Timeless Treasures

I was high-tailing it down the far corridor toward the Product Development room today when I was stopped in my size-10 tracks by the vibrant, stop-sign-red shade of paperwork perched predominantly atop the infamous  "routing table." In particular, these gifted pieces of paper contained the first gorgeous looks I'd seen of some inserts slated for 2010 Century Collection, due out in late December. Based on this early glance, it's…

The Drool Gallery: 2010 Toronto Fall Expo Box Wars Prize Cards

When the 2010 Toronto Fall Expo kicks off Friday from the Toronto International Centre, there will be no shortage of exciting Panini America activities to keep the masses enthralled, engaged and entertained. One of those activities will be weekend-long Box Wars battles at the company's booth that will reward respective winners with bona fide collection-making gems. (more…)

Panini Peek: 2010 Panini Century Collection

  In what just might be the biggest holiday blockbuster since James Cameron's "Titanic," 2010 Panini Century Collection launches three days before Christmas boasting a star-studded cast of celebrities ranging in scope from actors to astronaut to athletes and then some. Century Collection carries a $200 SRP for each five-card pack/box, but each five-card pack/box consists of two autograph cards,…
