Black Wednesday is coming. With the second installment of Panini America’s popular Black Football slated to release in just three days, collectors will soon discover for themselves that one of last season’s most popular rookie products has blossomed into a bona fide Product of the Year candidate. 2013 Black Football promises a slew of richly dark designs and bold new introductions such as Black Metal Captains and Black Metal Rookies metal cards (one per pack), and the Shadow Box Jersey Autographs that have received considerable pre-release hype.

Each 12-card box of 2013 Black Football will deliver at least three autographs, two memorabilia cards and one of the aforementioned Black Metal cards. It should be noted that some boxes will deliver up to four autographs.

  1. Impressive showing…I like it even more than last year. Those shadow box jersey autographs really pop! Will Veterans also have their own version of those cards? Can’t wait to get my hands on this product!

  2. Panini has the coolest cards I’ve ever seen! Keep up the awesome work! Maybe someday this will be in my price range and in my collection!

  3. Keenan Allen got a lot of run in this sample. I like that you were able to get at least some of the autographs on-card, and the shadowbox jerseys are pretty nice-looking. My favorite pull of these boxes, though, would be the Manti Te’o autograph.

  4. Is that an actual mini jersey in that Keenan Allen Card? That’s pretty cool if it is! I have mini jersey from the 2008 UD Mini Jersey Collection, don’t know what to do with them lol 🙂 One is a backwards Bledsoe name lol I was going to make mini frames for them at one point just never got around to doing it and don’t know how I would tack the jersey on a black felt background. Oh well! LOL Can’t WAIT to get a box of these to try out 🙂 I LOVE the look of this set and would love to build all the Metal Cards and Framed jersey auto cards! THAT would be an achievement!

  5. Are there veteran patches in this? I think last years had pretty big patch pieces, but can remember. Looks nice so far, but need to see some more. Im sure its gonna go over prettty well, last years was nice. Hope the price point stays affordable. The 2012 was so nice, because you could get top rookie autos for a realistic price per box. Keep the price good, and Im sure everyone will like it

  6. Any chance Panini is doing a Super Bowl black box promo again this year for the Super Bowl? Been holding off on buying some boxes in anticipation of another awesome promo like you had last season!

      1. Bummed, but I kinda thought that once we hadn’t heard anything by today. Oh well. Lots of other Panini cards to consider……and not too soon to be thinking about the Father’s day promo!!!
