Gaining Momentum: Panini America Begins QC Process for 2012 Momentum Football

Panini America NFL brand managers Carlos Torrez and Aik Tongtharadol spent a good chunk of Thursday morning at the company printing facility overseeing the early quality-control stages for the sparkling new 2012 Momentum Football.

The newest addition to Panini America’s stacked 2012 NFL roster delivers Rookie Cards graced with multi-memorabilia, shimmering-foil fronts, base cards with a subtle hint of spot-UV coating, plenty of prime and legends-based memorabilia cards, Printing Plate autographs and the return of the real-diamond-encrusted Studs insert.

We’ll have lots more to preview from the 2012 Momentum Football QC process in the coming days, but we wanted to bring you this preliminary first look at the product — which releases September 12 — this morning.

Enjoy.
