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.
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.

No disrespect to anyone esle but Keth and Tracy are my favroite unwrapped team.
They have great chemistry. Like James Harden and Jeremy Lin. Who’s who, that’s up to you to decide 🙂 If only someone didn’t lose the beard.
If they let their hair/beards grow out again we could have the “Fro and Beard” unwrapped segment >_<
I think they are both James Harden

Well, I have officially spent 3 hours pouring through these pictures, noticing advertisments, mistakes in autographs that the player attempted to fix, and some cool tattoos…however, i could not find your hidden image, so my only guess will hopefully at least make you laugh: the image i simehow hidden in the James Harden card inside his Beard!
I found it in QC (24) the Dwyane Wade Craftsmen Insert.
Tracy I tried so hard to find it but I must be blind but I can’t find it. I feel real stupid now. Thanks for the contest though bro. U guys are the best!

Panini should do a Dr. Jerry Buss tribute card..
GO LAKERS
Who won
great question??
Yes, who won? 🙂
Any idea who won? Thanks again!
I would chase a Harden beard card, no doubt!
I entered my answer the day this came out, but don’t see it in the comments – are there still others that need to be released?Thanks.
Approving all comments now.
Thanks Tracy – just making sure I wasn’t going crazy 🙂
Cool contest Tracy!
As always the preview and the unboxing are awesome.
I should probably join a blog just like you!
I think you should let the comments post and then filter the inappropriate ones if that is why there was a delay
No, the delay is so that everyone can’t see everyone else’s answers before the contest is over.
Gotcha sorry first time contest entry with Panini
Cool, I hope I win…I hope I win…I hope I win 🙂 It would be my first Panini Box Break 🙂
