Panini Blog Prominent Sunday Post: Panini Unwrapped, Scavenger Hunt and #PaniniWildCard

[Panini Blog]

So, what you got planned for this splendid second Sunday of the 2013 NFL season? Whatever it is, we hope you have fun and we hope you’ve carved out at least a little time to spend right here on The Knight’s Lance and on the Panini America Twitter feed. We plan to make it worth your while.

For starters, we’re bringing you a history-making episode of Panini Unwrapped that was filmed from inside the Carl Edwards Aflac No. 99 Ford Fusion. Seriously. The race car made a special visit to Panini America HQ on Friday afternoon thanks to our friends at Aflac. When Human Resources Manager Terry Luna suggested we shoot an episode of Panini Unwrapped from the front seat, Chris Reed and I jumped at the chance by jumping inside with a few boxes of 2013 Prominence Football.


The rest is Unwrapped history. After you’ve taken five short minutes out of your Sunday to watch the episode, stick around to find out how you can win one of five boxes of 2013 Prominence Football and for details on our NFL Week 2 #PaniniWildCard Twitter contest that kicks off later this afternoon.


OK, now that you’ve watched the video, it’s time to give you details on how you can win a box. You see that image at the top of this post? The one with a smiling Creed and a pained-looking Hackler? Well, we’ve taken the liberty of hiding that image just two times in the linked galleries below. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the two hidden images and tell us — AS A COMMENT TO THIS POST — on which two images you found them.

Five winners will receive a brand-spankin’-new box of 2013 Prominence Football.

We’ll wait to approve all comments until after the entry deadline, which is TONIGHT at 11:59 p.m. CST, so your comment will appear to you as “pending moderation.” That’s our way of protecting your answers to the Scavenger Hunt so that everyone else can’t see them. To that end, we kindly ask that you keep your Scavenger Hunt answers to yourself until after the deadline. We want to reward those folks who’ve taken the time and effort to find the hidden images.

We’ll then place all correct entries into an online randomizer to select five winners.

Here are your galleries. Happy hunting.

Now to today’s #PaniniWildCard contest.

To be eligible to win, simply Tweet @PaniniAmerica the most creative picture you can come up with using Panini America NFL cards to indicate who you’re rooting for in that game: Peyton or Eli.

The contest begins with kickoff of the Manning Bowl at 3:25 p.m. CST today. We’ll pick one winner per quarter. Got all that? Have fun, good luck and thanks for participating.
