Prime Pull: San Antonio Collector Discovers RG III Masterpiece at Sports Cards Plus
I just love getting over-the-weekend emails from Charlie DiPietro, the longtime owner of San Antonio staple Sports Cards Plus. Indeed, a weekend email from DiPietro usually means one of his loyal customers has beaten the odds yet again to pull a collection-making cornerstone from a Panini America product. Certainly that was the case with last night's message, in which DiPietro…

Yeah, you could call Thursday a lucky day -- or is that Luck-y day? -- at Panini America headquarters. With sincere apologies for the extremely bad pun, you can understand my goofy giddiness at peeking the stellar shipment of on-card autographs that arrived this morning.

Fifteen cards. Fifty-one autographs. That's the quick math at work in the ink-addled gallery that follows previewing the vaunted Pen Pals insert coming later this season to 2012 Prime Signatures Football.

Panini America Provides a Pre-Ink Peek at 2012 Prime Signatures Football RCs
So I'm back in the Autograph Acquisitions area of Panini America HQ earlier today and I can't help but notice the flurry of activity surrounding a slew of white boxes stacked neatly across two eight-foot white tables.
