Panini America Peeks Primo Penmanship Coming to 2011-12 Prime Hockey (Gallery)

Up to this point, the intense sense of anticipation that has developed for Panini America’s upcoming 2011-12 Prime Hockey has almost everything to do with the unparalleled selection of prime memorabilia slated for the  product that we’ve previewed now on a couple of different occasions.

But 2011-12 Prime Hockey is about so much more than just pretty patches. It’s also about a healthy dose of simply breathtaking autographed cards, too. A few weeks ago we shared with you what some of those cards looked like before they were sent to the players. Today, we bring you a stunning gallery showcasing the early returns, including gems from the legendary Gordie Howe, Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and more.

Enjoy the view . . .
