BACKPanini Instant Shines During 2017 NFL Draft with Real-Time Rookie Cards (Gallery)
PHILADELPHIA — Thirty-two different times last night during a wild first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, league commissioner Roger Goodell (or a special guest announcer) called out a name and made a dream come true for one of the most talented young football players on the planet. And just minutes (sometimes seconds) later, Panini America responded by revealing that player’s Panini Instant 2017 NFL Draft trading card.
Thanks to the real-time nature of the Panini Instant platform, those special Rookie Cards are available to fans and collectors now. From first overall pick Myles Garrett to 32nd selection Ryan Ramczyk, the Draft-updated RCs will be available to purchase in base versions and versions limited to 10 and one for just seven days. Many of the 1/1 versions sold out before last night’s first round even began.
And on one of the most exciting nights on the NFL calendar, the players themselves and some of their high-profile new teammates, helped spread the word . . .
