While the temperature north of the border during the
2012 Toronto Fall Expo promises to provide its normal November chill, things at the
Panini America booth inside the Toronto International Centre from November 9-11 will be plenty hot. Literally.
Panini America officials on Sunday began revealing their grand plans for the show, which once again will include a show-stealing, buzz-generating, crowd-attracting wrapper-redemption program, headlined by a 22-card
Score Hot Rookies insert sure to provide a powerful blast from the past.
Incorporating a familiar design taken directly from the landmark
1990 Score Hot Rookies insert, Panini America’s 22-card multisport Expo insert will feature numbering to just 399 on the front, scarce autograph versions and a checklist littered with top rookies from all four major North American sports, including several with Toronto ties.
The set features the
Ashton Carter and
Jussi Rynnas of the
Maple Leafs,
Brett Lawrie of the
Blue Jays,
Terrence Ross of the
Raptors and Toronto-born
Tristan Thompson of the

NFL rookies such as
Andrew Luck,
Robert Griffin III,
Trent Richardson and
Doug Martin also are included.
