Beginning tomorrow, anxious hockey collectors across*North America will finally get their first crack at opening the*epic, buzz-inducing blockbuster*better known as 2010-11 Dominion Hockey.

Panini America officials purchased the unique trophy*at auction earlier this year for more than $4,000, making this one of a small handful of redemption cards ever made that will be universally cheered.
The trophy stands 13 inches tall and is currently locked safely inside the Panini America vault awaiting notification from the winning collector. Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance to find out where this one-of-a-kind heirloom ends up. For now, enjoy this extended look at this true prized possession.
