Panini’s Always Exciting Box Wars Returns to the National

Written by: Isaiah Lucas

We’re excited to announce the always thrilling Panini America Box Wars are making their grand return to the National Sports Collectors Convention for 2025.

This year, there will be 25 Box Wars throughout the week, and we will be giving away over $24,000 in prizes. Collectors who want to join in on the fun during any of the scheduled Box Wars can purchase boxes anywhere on the show floor, but they must be brought to Panini’s booth still sealed.

The Friday afternoon Box War (24-25 Noir Basketball at 3:45) will determine the winner of a ticket for entrance into the VIP Party & Silver Packs. Below is the full schedule for this year’s slate of Box Wars.
