The Panini America Weekend Reveal: 2012 Rookies & Stars Football Greatest Hits

Bright and early Monday morning, Panini America officials will begin packing out perennial pigskin favorite 2012 Rookies & Stars Football, the company’s fourth NFL-licensed trading card product of the 2012 season following on the heels of promising precursors Prestige, Score and Elite.

This weekend, in an effort to ready collectors for Rookies & Stars’ release, The Knight’s Lance will preview a few sweet inserts from the product, beginning with the 30-card Greatest Hits, an in-your-face tribute to some of the game’s top defenders with impactful two-photo fronts.

In a hobby that understandably places a premium on the offensive skill positions, it’s nice to see the likes of Patrick Peterson, Charles Woodson, Von Miller, DeMarcus Ware and more get their due in this decidedly defensive insert set.

Enjoy this sneak peek and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance tomorrow for a preview of 2012 Rookies & Stars’ Statistical Standouts insert.
