You’ll want to keep your ears peeled in this entertaining edition of Panini America’s Unwrapped as two special guests chime in along the way. In fact, the Knight’s Lance wouldn’t be any fun without adding a chance to win a few boxes along the way. So after you watch the video make a guess in the comments section on who you think the two background voices are.

Hello,
I was wondering, without looking, how many autograghed rookie cards are in the 2011 Playoff Contenders football set. I have been working on putting this set together having all cards BGS graded.
Thanks, Rocky
Thanks as always for the contest Chris, I believe the two voices in the background are Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower.
Not sure, but:
Scott Prusha and Tracy Hackler.

Tracy Hackler
Thanks!
Scott W. Prusha & Chris Reed
Tracy Hackler/Chris Reed Thanks for the contest!
Thanks Panini and Chris for another awesome contest. This one was tough. I had to go back through old Unwrapped videos and try to match the voices. My guess is the voices are:
Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower.
Thanks again.
Sounds like Tracy Hackler and Scott Pruscha
I’m going to say Tracy Hackler and Scott Prusha…..no clue
Chris Reed & the incomparable Tracy Hackler
Great video guys! The answers are Tracy Hackler & Chris Reed. Oh and reflecting back to the Edmund Fitzgerald-there is a shipwreck museum at Whitefish Point on Lake Superior containing artifacts from the wreck. It’s pretty awesome. I’ve been there at least 4 times. Thanks again for the giveaway-
I Have NO CLUE lol

Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower
Im gonna go with Tracy and Keith
Thanks!
Just gotta say that this is one amazing product. Its a ton of fun to bust with a mystery in each box. I like the combination of Baseball players and icons among other fun combinations in the product.
First up well done to Mike for using a Stanley knife and not struggling around trying to open a box. Secondly it looks like a nice product!
Tracy and Keith
First of all, great job with the product guys, it looks great! I am psyched about the bad news bears insert and I believe many others are as well. I am definetly looking forward to getting my hands on some of this product, unfortunately it will probably be retail, I am on a tight budget because I’m a young collector. I have never broken a box and see this as an excellent opportunity to win my first box. Once again this product is great guys.
My guess is Keith Hower and Tracy Hackler!
Thank you for the opportunity to win a box.
I’ll say its Tracey Hackley and Scott Prusha……but
It could be Tracey Hackler and Keith Hower. The southern draw thing is throwing me off. lol
I am pretty sure the two voices I heard were none other than the amazing duo of Scott Prusha and Tracy Hackler. I could be wrong but that’s who I think it is.
Hackler and Reed?
Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower
The Tracy Hackler
And I’m going to guess Reilly Smith… It is a tough one though.
Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower
Scott Prusha and Tracy Hackler
I am going with……I’ll say its Tracey Hackler and Scott Prusha….I CAN recognize Tracy for sure and I am PRETTY sure it’s Scott..PRETTY sure…..? hmmm lol anyways, first off thank you for the contest, then thank you for the review! I love this product! My only downfall here is that the LAST LCS has closed! Not due to anything they did but the Mall didn’t renew their lease, so now I’m out of an LCS 🙁 The NEXT CLOSET one is 40 minutes away so guess I’ll be making a trip when I can,disability premitting and all……but at least with this other store, I can call them and they will order me product anytime I want now since I’ve built up a good repor with them 🙂 Thanks Guys! Love it!
Busted two boxes today. Not too bad overall.
+: nice on-card autos (got two in one of the boxes)
+: playing cards was a different twist. That would be a cool idea to build on in other sets (like football or hockey perhaps). You could have a certain player on say 5-6 different cards and have 20-30 players so people could customize their own deck. If you kept a common PANINI card back, you could also mix sports. Just a thought.
+: minis are always nice
+: Three stooges cards
– : I like the numbered or costume swatch box toppers from last year better.
-: headliners is getting old unless there is a mem or other tie-in.
– : Got better overall mem cards last year but that could’ve just been my luck this year.
Overall on par with last year’s product, which I liked a lot!!!
Tracy Hackler And Chris Reed
Any word on the voices/winners????
I was going to ask the same? I’m very anxious and curious haha!
You know, I was thinking, since they approved all the entries “early” (as far as I can tell), maybe it’s because 4 people haven’t guessed the both people correctly yet? Just a random thought that passed through my mind. haha.
I have to admit, this has been one of the harder contests of late, and I like that! hehe. Cudos on that Panini! 🙂
I agree I thought through that but I feel like they would let us know…. Hmmmm…. Maybe we should all start guessing again

Need Help! Finishing buildng Playing Card Set, but the problem I have is about the two Joker cards. So far I’ve only got 1 black Joker card and I checked eBay and do not see the red Joker card ever came out? I need two Joker cards to finish the set; but where is the red Joker?? Help! Anyone? Tracy?
In talking to Product Development, it looks like the red Joker didn’t get printed. Just the black.
