You can add the 2011 Panini Americana quality-control process to the list of things I missed the most while attending the 32nd Annual National Sports Collectors Convention last week.*(Not that I’m complaining, mind*you.)
I’m happy to report that the show went on here at Panini America HQ while that other*show was going on*in Rosemont, Ill. I only know this, of course, because I happened*to be snooping around marketing colleague Chris Reed’s office earlier this afternoon and discovered a sleeve full of QC hits from 2011 Panini Americana that he “forgot†to*share with me.
No harm, no foul.
I quickly scooped the sleeve*up, briefly gawked*at*its contents, and then made a mad*dash to*the company scanner*in an effort to bring you the following gallery. Five years into its existence, there’s still*no denying the unique and universally appealing nature of the Americana brand.
From*the refreshing nature of*the product’s memorabilia and autograph content to the fond memories evoked by seemingly every card you see, there’s*a comfortable, cool vibe permeating the product that will never get old.
You’ll be able to*live it all again when the 2011 installment releases next*Wednesday.*Here’s hoping the following 40 images can get you through until then.
