The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2012 Prime Signatures Football (48 Images)

Almost lost amid the maddening fervor of activity around Panini America HQ in recent days (last week’s releases of 2012 Cooperstown and Signature Series Baseball and 2012-13 Certified Hockey, last weekend’s 2012 Toronto Fall Expo) was this little nugget: 2012 Prime Signatures Football releases in just two days.

And although we’ve been meaning to post the must-see results of last week’s Quality Control process for 2012 Prime Signatures for what seems like a week now, it seems our plans were constantly getting derailed by something else. But not this time.

This time, we’re going to deliver a revealing sneak peek of what anxious football collectors can expect from a product that boasts a strikingly clean design, a wealth of autograph content and some downright stunning Prime Proof parallels.

We’ll have more on 2012 Prime Signatures Football later this week, including a sure-to-be-captivating episode of Panini Unwrapped. So stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for that. But for now, feast your eyes on these beauties . . .
