Whew! Glad that's over with. I just spent most of my morning sifting through more than 620 comments from four recent Panini America contests conducted right here on The Knight's Lance. I'm not complaining. The exercise kept reminding me just how great our customers, collectors, fans and friends are.

We want to sincerely thank everyone for your participation in these contests. You guys and gals rock and we hope you’ve all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break so far. Congratulations to the winners — we’ll be in touch shortly to get your mailing addresses. And stay tuned in the coming days, we might just be giving away a few more Black Friday packs.
Speaking of Black Friday packs, if your local hobby shop has exhausted its supply or, worse yet, you don’t have a participating local hobby shop in your area, we still have packs available at iCollectPanini.com. Check it out before we’re all out, too.
Congrats to all of the winners! Big thanks also to Panini and Tracy for running such cool contests!!

Dang it I never win. Haha. There is always a next time. Thanks Tracey and Panini for holding these contests. We appreciate you guys giving back to the community. 🙂
Congratulation to everyone that last contest was hard!
congrats to all the winners…..im jealous of all of you…lol
congrats to all the winners! there were a lot for a lot of things! thanks panini and tracy for doing this stuff, scott, thanks for all you did on the thanksgiving black friday giveaway! congrats again everyone!
Congrats to al the winners. The interaction Panini has with its customers is amazing. Best card company in the world. Sooner or later I am going to win in one of these contests!!!
WOW! How did I not win? CONGRATS TO WINNERS.
How did i not win when i was one of two that actually followed the instructions. Not 1 single winner did this contest correct. You were to pick the cards below and to the left not say which card the picture was on
Entrants were to find the card image with the hidden picture and provide the name of that image as their entry. In the rotating gallery, the image name often appears below and to the left of the actual image.
Oh i apologize then. Thanks for the contest. Guess ill have to buy more panini products to get the packs now 🙂
Sorry for any confusion.
Great job everyone and congrats to all the winners.
Congrats to all the winners!& a HUGE thank you to Panini America for all the awesome contests & giveaways!:-)
Cooperstown and sigs! I am so pumped!!!!!! Thank you PANINI. Made my day
Thanks Tracy..these definitely makes my month! What a great organization..you really do take care of the fans. BTW I participate in my first Black Friday packs yesterday and really had fun.. what a creative group. Thanks!
WOW! I really did not think I would win! Seeing my name as one of the Black Friday Packs contest winner is a prize in itself. The excitement is almost as sweet as it will be to tear into them! Thanks Panini America for contests & giveaways!
Awesome! Thanks very much for picking me guys! I will be sure to post up the break’s results!
way to go PANINI you are blowing upperdeck off the map. your choice of inserts and jersey cuts are amazing keep up the good work!!!!!
Congrats to all the winners!
BTW, you never did post a winner for this ( https://twitter.com/PaniniAmerica/status/271321997630390272 ) on twitter. 😉 Just thought I’d remind you guys about it since you said you were picking a winner, yet, never posted who won it.
Thanks for the heads-up. I think Scott and our POD folks were running that one. But I’ll look into it.
Tracy, Who can i get ahold of for an expired redemption?
Get with our CSM, he’ll take care of you. Contact him at [email protected] or on Twitter at @PaniniCSM
Congrats to all winners!
Is there a for international collectors to take part in the Black Friday Promotion?
iCollectPanini.com won’t ship internationally.
Hmmm . . . good question. Not sure if any approved online retailers will ship internationally, but check with Chris Reed at [email protected] or on Twitter at @creed_75
Great Contest once again and congrats to the winners!
Congrats to all and THANKS PANINI for the contests! Now get out to your local card stores and shop on small business Saturday!
So excited to be one of the 3 bonus winners of the 3rd contest. Really brightened an exceptionally difficult time, Tracy, Scott and Panini crew. Very appreciative.
Congratulations to all the other winners… I think we can all concur that Panini has totally altered the hobby playing field…& collecting has changed enormously since Panini has assumed the top spot!
More blessings to Panini! And Congratulations to all winners!
I think everyone loved the contest!
Just always love the panini and Tracy’s Blog!
Cool contests.
Another day, another shutout. Been doing these contests for over a year and still can’t manage to win anything. Argh!
I won?!?! WOW!!!!! I just totally accidentally stumbled across this website yesterday just in time to enter! YES! Thanks.
Heck ya win some ya lose some. I went and saw my auntie ( Tia Ballenia ) today and she asked me if we had won something I told her “Na we didn’t,” then she said “card collecting is like a box of chocolates ya never know what you are going to get.” I responded hey “Tia your like the Forest Gump of the collecting world” and then se said “no I’m your aunt,” man I almost bust a gut, even in the midst of battling breast cancer she still has never lost that sence of humor. Panini thanks for the opportunity that you guys can only can deliver. All the best to you and to all. Congrats to all the winners.
Hey Tracy, Scott, and Panini Team, All I can say is WOW. I never win anything and this has truly made my weekend!!! You guys are the best, how do I give you my address info?? Let me know and I cannot wait to see what I have won!! Thanks again for the contest and I will appreciate whatever it is you send my way!! I hope you guys enjoy your weekend and please never stop showing the sneak peeks on the up and coming products!! I love checking them out week to week!!
Thanks for the updates Tracy, and for working the weekend shift! No days off for this guy 🙂
My daughters and I are so happy we won some Black Friday Packs!!! My youngest Ray-Ray deserves the most credit, after me looking through 4 gallery’s worth of pics about 20 times and couldn’t find it, she found it in less than 5mins! Thank you Tracy and Panini for the contest and especially thank you for being the greatest card company in the world!!
Congrats to all the winners! Thanks again for putting up these awesome contests!
Went to my local card store and spent all my b-day money for the awesome Panini hobby boxes and sick black friday packs, so glad I did!
Congrats to the winners. I actually know a few of these guys. Nice to see they got something. Great giveaway. Thanks for doing that for those of us not fortunate enough to have a hobby shop or the money to buy a box this time of year. Well done Tracy and the guys at Panini America.
I’m so glad and grateful to know that I’m one of the five winners of the Panini Unwrapped 2012-13 Totally Certified Basketball contest! Thank you Tracy and the Panini staff for this early Christmas present! More blessings to Panini! Congrats to all other winners! PEACE! 🙂
Thanks Tracy!
Love the work you and Panini do for the industry. The behind the scenes and previews of upcoming products are always a pleasure to see, and then to tear open a pack to see it in person – awesome. Congrats to all the winners!
Thanks Tracy! The box just arrived yesterday. I got the package containing Larry Bird patch, Harrison Barnes autograph and Jon Leuer autograph. I wonder who got the Anthony Davis Totally Certified Green. 🙂 Thanks a lot again Tracy and all Panini staff! Have a good day and God Bless all of you! 🙂
