Collectors’ Choice: You Make the Call for a Special Insert in 2011-12 Hoops Basketball

How’s this for an idea: We here at Panini America are turning the product development reigns over to our loyal collectors. Yes, that would be you.

Over the course of the next month, The Knight’s Lance will be your personal drawing board as you determine the theme, name, checklist and design for a special 20-card insert that will appear in the triumphant late-September return of 2011-12 Hoops Basketball.

After all, who’s more qualified to help us build a better insert set than the very people who so loyally support us all season long? Well, aside from the basketball guys in this building, no one. So, here’s your chance to have a direct impact on the trading card industry; that unique opportunity to help create an NBA-licensed trading card insert — and then collect it.

But first things first, we need you to vote on what the subject matter of this collector-selected insert before we can have you choose the name of it, the 20 players who’ll appear in it, the design . . .

We’ll give collectors a week to vote on the theme and then we’ll proceed with the next vote.

This should be a lot of fun.
