For the fourth straight year, Panini America is about to turn Black Friday into a bona fide sports card shopping holiday at hobby shops across the country. Many dealers across North America have already started the 2014 installment of the phenomenon by opening their stores earlier than ever in anticipation of a huge weekend.
For the fourth straight year, Panini America is about to turn Black Friday into a bona fide sports card shopping holiday at hobby shops across the country. Many dealers across North America have already started the 2014 installment of the phenomenon by opening their stores earlier than ever in anticipation of a huge weekend.
Over the course of the last month, we’ve done our best here on The Knight’s Lance to bring you a front-row seat to everything the 2014 Black Friday set has to offer. After the jump, we provide a series of links recapping our preview coverage. What’s more, we also bring you a pack-by-pack preview of 15 Black Friday we packs we ripped just this morning.
Collectors can find a list of participating Panini Roundtable stores here: 2014 Black Friday Roundtable Stores
If you don’t have a participating shop in your area, we’ve got you covered there, too. While supplies last, collectors can get in on the Black Friday action at iCollectPanini.com.

Now, to the gallery . . .
where do you buy these packs???
You get them via wrapper-redemption through participating dealers (complete list included in the post) or online with select purchases at iCollectPanini.com.
nothing in canada?
If I saw that Kaepernick correctly, it is good to see Panini producing thick “decoy” cards for these packs like you did for the Fathers Day packs. Can’t wait for my order to come in!!!
You saw it correctly, Keith!
can give a quick explanation of “via wrapper redemption” means please, thanks.
You buy selected products from participating dealers and you get an equivalent number of Black Friday packs per purchase. If there’s no participating shop in your area, you can get packs from buying selected products on iCollectPanini.com.
Looks like BF fun to me, let’s hope the weather here in the northeast clears and I can venture out to the hobby shop. Thanks Tracy!
Quick question — i’m looking into buying boxes on Panini’s website. Had chosen 3 boxes tied into the Black Friday promotion (Gold Standard, Intrigue, NBA Hoops), but when I get to my shopping cart it only shows 12 BF packs. Why isn’t it adding totals for the other 2 boxes?
Looking into it now.
I had the same issue
I’ll let you guys know as soon as I have some information.
It looks like it is OK if you order multiples of the same type of box (the Black Friday packs multiply), but when you add a different box, it doesn’t add on those packs to your total.
Thanks Tracy! I’m looking to buy 3 boxes … hopefully it’ll be fixed before any of them sell out haha
My shop is on list. Hmmmmm
Reblogged this on Locating Frankenstein's Brain.
Hope you’ll do a contest to at least give away that cracked ice card. 😉
Also, props for adding the numbering to them (well, at least this part of the set for sure). I’ve always said that those cracked ice cards should be #’ed so that people in the future know how many there were made. 😉 Wish my Russel Wilson Cracked Ice RC from the Toronto Expo had been #’ed.
Amen on the numbering. That is a nice touch!!
I have never busted any of these. The holidays are always a poor time of the year lol. Family first. Hopefully I can find some on eBay later on
Any chance of getting some print runs on the Black Friday autos??
