Gallery: Pre-Packout Process Continues for Panini America’s 2011-12 Prime Hockey

You can trace the considerable buzz that reverberated throughout the hockey collecting universe last week (and reverberates still today) directly back to The Knight’s Lance. Indeed, our gallery documenting the pre-packout process for Panini America’s upcoming 2011-12 Prime Hockey was nothing short of an appetite-whetting, hit-generating sensation.

The good news? We have more sneak peeks to show you today. Panini America NHL Brand Manager Chris Barr was nice enough to share the following images from his weekend spent putting the finishing touches on the pre-packout process, including the first look at Prime’s unique Seams Incredible insert and additional glimpses at the compelling Prime Colors insert.

Up next? Prime gets ready for prime time with the actual packout process that begins later this week. Expect tons more images in the coming days. But for now, simply enjoy these . . .
