Panini America’s Tracy Hackler and Keith Hower spent some quality time late last week with one box of the new 2012-13 Elite Basketball to produce the following must-see episode of Panini Unwrapped. But there’s way more than merely one box at stake in this video. After you watch it, we’re going to give collectors a chance to win one of four additional boxes through another of our Knight’s Lance scavenger hunts.

But before we give you the details on that, we want you to watch the video, which sheds some light on, among other things, the throwback beauty of this year’s product. Be sure to stick around after the video to find out how you can win one of four boxes of 2012-13 Elite Basketball. Also after the video, we’ve provided a link to the product checklist.

Here’s the product checklist: 2012-13 Elite BK Checklist

Now, on to the scavenger hunt. We’ve taken the liberty of hiding the main image at the top of this post into one of the card images that appeared in our two 2012-13 Elite Basketball pre-release galleries. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the hidden image and tell us — AS A COMMENT TO THIS POST — what card you found it on.

The two galleries are:

Teaser Gallery: Panini America Breaks Early Box of the New 2012-13 Elite Basketball

The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2012-13 Elite Basketball

We’ll give you until 10 a.m. CST tomorrow morning (February 26) to get your entries in. Good luck and happy hunting.
