You asked for*and*a comprehensive look at the cardboard gold that is Panini America’s 2011 National Sports Collectors Convention wrapper-redemption set,*base cards, inserts and all. You’re about to get it.
The base set for this year’s show in Chicago*will incorporate 16 superstars from the worlds of basketball, football, hockey and entertainment (King of Pop, anyone?) on a vertically modified 2011*Donruss Elite Football design that should be warmly embraced*by show-goers. The base*set will be accompanied*by three different parallels (numbered to 25, 10*and 5), including some autographs.
In addition, there are three striking insert sets punctuating*this year’s wrapper-redemption spectacle*–*a nine-card set devoted to the top*NFL and NHL rookies of the 2010-11 season, an eight-card School Colors insert that pays tribute to*local heroes from the Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks, and a two-card Headliners*insert honoring the Super Bowl and Stanley Cup exploits of the Green Bay Packers and Boston Bruins, respectively.
But instead of us just telling*you about the goods, why don’t we show you the greatness of which we speak with the following comprehensive gallery.
That part about Panini America’s 2011 National wrapper-redemption packs also including randomly inserted instant-win redemption cards good for autographed memorabilia . . . well, we’ll tell you all about that soon enough, along with all the other redemption details.
