Ask 10 different Panini National VIP Party attendees what their favorite part of the annual extravaganza is and you’re likely to get six or seven different answers. For some, it’s the always-loaded VIP guest list. For others, it’s the venue. Or the food. Or the fun. Or the music. Or the camaraderie. Or . . . the Gold Packs. Ah, yes.

It’s a compelling sight to be sure, and one that played out once again on Saturday at Panini America’s 2016 National VIP Party in Atlantic City, N.J.
Panini America’s National VIP Party Gold Packs are filled with a Prizm-powered array of base cards, rare Prizm parallels, low-numbered autograph and memorabilia cards, Original Player Sketch Cards, instant-win redemption cards for autographed memorabilia and more. By now, you’ve probably seen some of the hits surface on the secondary market or through social media.

Enjoy.
