Panini America Provides Detailed First Look at 2018 Encased Football (Preview Gallery)
Full disclosure: When today started, we were slightly behind here at The Knight’s Lance in previewing the newest products that have been solicited by the Panini America sales team in the last week or so. But we had a plan to catch up in short order. This morning, we had yet to post preliminary product information on the last eight product solicitations that have gone out. But in order to rectify the situation, we streamlined things here today by highlighting key product information and including the PIS document for each of the products, one post at a time.
We spent the last several hours here on The Knight’s Lance previewing 2018 Limited Football, 2018-19 Crown Royale Basketball, 2018 One Football, 2018-19 Donruss Optic Basketball, 2019 Donruss NASCAR Racing, 2018 Plates & Patches Football and 2018-19 Impeccable Basketball. That took care of seven of the eight. Now, we cross the last one off our list with a must-see preview of 2018 Encased Football.
