I don't need down comforters to keep me warm this winter. I don't need Granny's quilts or my father-in-law's electric blankets, either. All I really need are a few emerald sheets -- uncut, of course -- from the upcoming 2012 Prizm Football. That's what I immersed myself in yesterday afternoon that ultimately heated up most of the Panini America Production department.

Cue the trumpets: Green Prizms aren’t just for basketball anymore. Green’s good for the gridiron, too. Indeed, those retail-exclusive Green Prizm parallels that have ignited a secondary-market feeding frenzy in 2012-13 Prizm Basketball are coming to 2012 Prizm Football — and once again, they’ll be available only in retail.
Yesterday afternoon, I slipped between the (uncut) sheets with a few 100-up Green Prizm forms, one showcasing the Rookie Card parallels, another highlighting veteran superstars. You can check out the exquisite emerald nature of what I saw in the following gallery.
And if you’ve missed any of the previous posts previewing 2012 Prizm Football, you can check them out here and again right here.
Wow!! Already a great job on the bball version, football s going to be out of this world!!!! Great job again.
While I am a big Colts fan, I really appreciate the look of cards when a theme matches the team colors. The green Prizm is a stellar addition to the colors of teams like the Packers and Seahawks, it really makes those cards have an extra pop to them. I’ve always been a fan of the Mirror Green in Certified so the Colts from this parallel set will definitely be on my radar. Thanks for the preview as always Tracy!
nice looking cards! love the color and should be widely sought after on the secondary market! gotta get me a luck and rg3 for sure!
Dear Mr. Hackler, any Idea if Prizm will be brought to hockey? I would love a Crosby Prizm (refractor). UD doesn’t make chromium cards and Topps has been out of the NHL since Sid entered the league. Just wondering and dreaming of one of those Green Refractors w/87.
Great question. Haven’t heard for sure, but I think it makes an incredible amount of sense.
Tracy its very hard to get those retail! Most of them are gone sold out.
I knew it. The first time it was out. We got five packs! I should have picked up the whole box!
Lol! Anyway it should do or be even more in football!
what is the release date?
They look awesome..bye the way we are 2 days into the New Year and haven’t had the first giveaway to celebrate what a great year it was for Panini..just sayin
Gotta save my green to get the green!
I am glad that you created this .in retail as some times that is all I can afford to buy, but my question is are any of the Prizms serial #’d. PLMK by email.
Thanks,
Bob
I definitely like the variety in Prizm.
Hey Tracy whats the print run on the greens from Prizm Basketball?
In the basketball prizm how short print are the green ones compared to /10 gold’s
Not nearly as limited as the Golds, but still pretty tough.
Is there any plan to ever release the print run of the Prizm Parallels or the Green Prizms? I think I’ve seen you guys release print runs after certain products have been out awhile, any chance of this happening with Prizm?
You need to stop showing uncut sheets, i’m sure many a collectors pulse races when they see them!
Can you tell us what the insert rate is on the green Prizms in the retail packs? Thanks
luv the fact, if i read it right, there are retail only…glad to see somethings this cool are retail only for those of us that a whole hobby box is alittle beyond our means…thanks guys !!
when is the retail due to hit the stores anyone?
Should start hitting middle to late next week.
Thanks Tracy.
Nice. I pass both a Walmart and a Target on the way home.
Do you know where they will selling them @ Walmart or Target?LMK
Thanks “the hitman”
