Here it is the Monday of Black Friday week and a few of us inside Panini Ameirca HQ just suffered something of a panic attack when we realized that there are still so many previews of the set's impending greatness that we've yet to show.
Here it is the Monday of Black Friday week and a few of us inside Panini Ameirca HQ just suffered something of a panic attack when we realized that there are still so many previews of the set’s impending greatness that we’ve yet to show.
Indeed, despite the staggering nature of the must-have cards — base, RCs, memorabilia, autographs, parallels, you name it — that we’ve shown so far, there’s still much left to see before the 2012 Black Friday promotion kicks off in earnest later this week.
So today, we provide a massive gallery showcasing a beautiful selection of Cracked Ice autograph inserts sure to provide highlights aplenty in hobby shops across the country later this week. Featuring current superstars and rookies as well as some of the greatest legends of all time, the 2012 Black Friday autograph checklist is a stunning tribute to sports royalty. Gordie Howe. Mark Messier. Robert Griffin III. Andrew Luck. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They’re all here — and so are many other collecting cornerstones. You can see exactly what we mean in the gallery below.
Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance tomorrow for the master list of hobby shops participating in Black Friday and for additional sneak peeks at the product itself.
That RG3 is INSANE!!
I think you should start calling these “funfetti” cards
Simply incredible gallery, this could go down as the best promotion yet! Thanks Tracy!
These do look nice! I just wish the guys I collected were good enough to be included!
BTW, isn’t Totally Certified Basketball coming out on Wednesday?? We haven’t seen a look at any of the cards from there yet!
Working on the QC Gallery as we speak. Stay tuned!
So you’ll be posting that up today then?? If so, can’t wait!
Yes, sir. Working on it now.
I am so going to have to buy singles…any contests to win some packs coming up??? 🙂
EPIC is the only word that comes out when trying to describe what this promo is going to be like. Can’t wait!
Iced out rg3 auto. Now that’s a sick card! Nice stuff!
Return of the Prisms!!!! Too cool
This for sure will be the most sought after cards for a long long time.
Love it!
Sweet cards guys, the design on them is awesome.
Love that Gordie Howe Whalers card!!
Can’t wait!!! Sports Cards Plus of San Antonio will have 1320 Panini America Black Friday Packs. Best Pull from a 2012 Black Friday Pack WINS $100.00 at Sports Cards Plus and your Panini product purchases qualify you to enter our $500.00 drawing held the end of November.
Those look amazing! How many packs can one get for each box?
Will there be a list of participating shops that will be taking part in the Black Friday promotion?
Absolutely. Working on finalizing that now.
Awesome…Thanks Tracy!
After reviewing the list, there are no shops here in Houston that are participating….not that we have that many as it is, I think there’s only 2 or 3 shops here and they don’t really offer much anyway. So much for any Black Friday packs or deals here.
Stay tuned. We’ll have details on our online component later today.
Tracy,
Love the Blog, and the work you are putting in at Panini! We HAVE to get someone in Memphis, TN on the list to get these…
No Black Friday packs for me again this year….can’t afford a box of 2012 R&S Football to get them. Thanks anyway.
I have that same RG3 auto. I cant seem to find the # its limited to! Does anyone know? Value? Thanks
