Drool Gallery: A Pre-Autograph Peek at the 2011 Plates & Patches Football RCs (Part 2)

There are manifold benefits emanating from Panini America’s effort to acquire more on-card autographs for its roster of 2011 NFL products. First and foremost, obviously, is that collectors want more on-card autographs.

But one of the real hidden beauties of the process is that it requires the actual cards being signed be completed way earlier than normal – which means we get our first look at the cards way earlier than normal. And when The Knight’s Lance gets an early look, that means Panini America collectors do, too.

Last Friday we received a monumental shipment from our printing facility that included as-yet-unsigned Rookie Cards slated for such late-season blockbusters as 2011 Plates & Patches, 2011 Playoff Contenders and, yes, even 2011 National Treasures.

On Saturday we gave you the exclusive first look at 2011 Plates & Patches in part one of a gallery that showcased the product’s upscale design, a high-gloss finish, prime memorabilia pieces and rich burgundy foil that really pops. All that’s missing at this point are the autographs, but those will be added in the coming days and weeks.

Today we present part two.

  1. CMON no Bengals to show me! These do look good though just not the players i am looking for. Thanks for the preview

  2. Just make sure there’s more “patches” than jersey’s, and more plates than redemptions. Then all will be good.
