Let the countdown begin: The first live autographs of Cuban baseball sensation Jose Abreu are now just days away. But when Panini America's 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball arrives in hobby shops on Wednesday, it will be delivering more than just Abreu. The product also will include the company's first 2013 autographs of Kris Bryant, the second overall pick of the Cubs in the 2013 Draft, a potential-packed checklist of other on-card autographs and a bold new array of Prizm parallels.

Last week, in the days before the product shipped, Panini America’s Mike Payne, Tim Trout and Micah Layton put Prizm Perennial Draft Picks through the paces during the Quality Control process, revealing one key card after another from a product that should keep passionate prospectors hunting for the foreseeable future.
On average, each box of 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball should yield four autographs and a selection of Prizms ranging in color from Orange, Blue, Green, Gold and Black. The following QC gallery explores just some of the possibilities available. Enjoy, and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.
Cool, colorful and shiny!!
If you can ever get those rights back to use team names and emblems you’ll be unstoppable!! Topps doesn’t put the time in the to get these autographs and great designs!! Keep up the great work!
Any checklist? PLEASE tell me this isn’t replacing Elite Extra Edition.
It is not.
I do like the metallic look to the cards as well as the on-card autos!!
Couldn’t pick any of these guys out of their respective high school yearbooks but very nice design and continuation of the Prizm program. Thanks Tracy!
I am stoked about this release. Really want to get my hands onto some of these guys rookies!
Will there be retail blaster boxes of this particular product?
No retail blasters of this one.
Do the Green Prizms really exist for any sets in 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks? Haven’t seen a single one online except in your preview above.
The makeshift checklists available are extremely messy and without S# info. Does the product consist of skip-numbered sets or are there simply no complete checklists online yet?
Trying to get a hold on an inventory situation. Thanks for any help!
