Panini America’s 2013 Black Friday packs, they’ll delight at the updated twists on several longstanding promotional drivers such as
Tools of the Trade memorabilia cards, player-worn
Santa hats, game-used
NFL Breast Cancer Awareness football cards and much more. But it’s the striking imagery and dynamic design of the set’s 20
Panini Collection inserts that once again will provide the set’s emotional core.
A Black Friday-exclusive insert since Panini America started the game-changing promotion three years ago, the Panini Collection places a premium on the trademark poses and emotions of some of the sports world’s biggest stars. This year’s iteration — which is paralleled by both
Cracked Ice and
