The New England Patriots’ scintillating last-second victory over the defending-champion Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday — before a record 114 million U.S. viewers, no less — brought a fittingly fascinating end to the 2014 NFL season. But for many football collectors, the NFL Honors broadcast one night earlier packed its own fair share of hair-raising moments.
Indeed, when the league crowned its 2014 award winners on Saturday night (namely MVP Aaron Rodgers, Offensive Rookie of the Year Odell Beckham, Jr., and Defensive Rookie of the Year Aaron Donald), the announcements instantly made winners of interactive Awards Selections cards featuring those players that were randomly inserted into Panini America’s December release of 2014 Select Football. Roughly 24 hours later, the Patriots made winners of the New England Super Bowl card. And bright and early Monday morning, the Panini America Product Development Team put the finishing touches on the stacked winning sets that lucky collectors holding those respective Award Selections cards will receive.
Collectors holding Awards Selections cards of the four aforementioned winners should send their cards to:
Panini America
2014 Select Football Award Winners
5325 FAA Blvd., Suite 100
Irving, Texas 75061-3601
In exchange, collectors will receive special Blue Mojo Prizm sets devoted to Rodgers, Beckham, Jr., Donald and the Patriots, respectively. Here are the set details:
New England Patriots — Super Bowl XLIX Champions
Winners will receive a 52-card Blue Mojo Prizm set featuring 32 Patriots (including late-game hero Malcolm Butler), five Seahawks (including Chris Matthews’ first Seahawks card) and 15 game-highlight cards from Super Bowl XLIX.
Aaron Rodgers — NFL MVP
Winners will receive a special 16-card Blue Mojo Prizm set with all 16 cards featuring Rodgers and his biggest 2014 season highlights.
Odell Beckham, Jr. — Offensive Rookie of the Year
Winners will receive a special 16-card Blue Mojo Prizm set with all 16 cards featuring Beckham, Jr. and his biggest 2014 season highlights.
Aaron Donald — Defensive Rookie of the Year
Winners will receive a special 16-card Blue Mojo Prizm set with all 16 cards featuring Donald and his biggest 2014 season highlights.
Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance in the coming days for a complete gallery showcasing every card from all four winning sets. In the meantime, collectors holding winning Award Selections (shown above) cards are encouraged to send them to Panini America at the above address.
Reblogged this on Locating Frankenstein's Brain.
Is there a deadline for when the cards need to be received in order to get a set?
There is no hard deadline but the offer will be good while supplies last.
I got Eli Manning as MVP. Guess empty handed for me lol. Not unless MVP of the Giants, Beckham wouldn’t have gotten those balls without him!
Are the wild cards truly wild and also a winner? Can they “represent” the real player winners?
No, the Wild Cards were for players who weren’t included individually in those sets.
I was told that the Wild Cards were redeemable for the respective sets they were a part of. Ie: The MVP Selections Wild Card would be redeemable for the Aaron Rodgers Prizm Set.
That’s not correct. The Wild Cards were for any players who might have won who didn’t have an individual card in the set.
Excellent promotion, way to give back something extra to collectors that held these cards. Thanks Tracy!
