Panini America Prepares for the 2011 NHL All-Star Game: The Gradual Reveal
Beginning Friday at the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, N.C., Panini America will aim to dazzle a decided hockey contingent with a multi-faceted, fan-friendly approach*to the 2011 NHL All-Star Fan Fair.
The show, held in conjunction with Sunday’s NHL All-Star Game, will be the company’s first as a member of the NHL family. Rest assured, we’re putting our best foot forward.
Over*the next few days, we’ll be releasing the details of our show plans on The Knight’s Lance. Today, we shed some light on*what has become a calling card of*any Panini America show appearance: A show-stopping wrapper-redemption program.
The show-exclusive*2011 NHL All-Star Game set will feature seven cards highlighting the 20th anniversary of the landmark 1990-91 Score Hockey release. The set, previewed*in all of its glory below, will be limited to 500 copies and will be augmented by special insert cards, including one honoring the Carolina Hurricanes‘ Stanley Cup win.
The two-card redemption packs will also include randomly inserted Rookie NHL patch autographs as well as additional signatures from*such current superstars as Sidney Crosby, Carey Price, Steve Stamkos, Taylor Hall and the Canes’ own Cam Ward, Eric Staal and Jeff Skinner; oh, there are also autographs of*all-time legends*like*Patrick Roy and Steve Yzerman. Seriously.
Show-goers will receive one*two-card NHL All-Star redemption pack for every three*2010-11 Panini America NHL hobby packs*opened at the Panini America booth.
Stay tuned tomorrow for a comprehensive gallery of the redemption set’s stunning autograph and memorabilia cards. For now, enjoy this first look*at some of the sweet base cards and inserts*from the*set.
