LAS VEGAS — Now that the 2014 Industry Summit officially has come to a close, it’s time to take a quick look back at just how dynamic Panini America’s presence was. From a dominant green performance on a distinctly Rated Rookie St. Patrick’s Day to three days full of sneak peeks, case breaks, panel discussions and more, it’s obvious that Panini America kept the collectibles industry buzzing throughout the Summit.
Clearly, though, Panini America saved its most powerful punch for Tuesday’s Corporate Address from inside a rapt Orleans Showroom — where Panini America CEO Mark Warsop delivered the bombshell news that the company would be launching the Panini Rewards Program with the late-May release of 2014 Score Football. For the knockout punch, Panini America welcomed UFC lightweight contender Myles “Fury” Jury on stage to sign autographs and to help deliver the company’s coveted Black Boxes.
To be sure, it was another show-stealing performance for Panini America. You can check out just some of the highlights in the gallery that follows. After that, be sure to check out the video that details Jury’s appearance.
