I think Panini keeping a blog about all of their sports products is such a great idea to keep anticipated collectors. It let's us see whats coming, the work put into these cards, and the whole 10 yards.
The Knights Lance has released photos of uncut sheets of Panini Contenders Draft Picks, all of the inserts in the sets before they're cut and, for some, autographed. Panini decided to use last season's design on pretty much every card, I believe wisely. Many collectors were complaining that people would get the two sets confused this year. Not to worry. With everyone in college uniforms, and most likely 2 different designs, I can't imagine this set getting mixed up this season.
The first insert we're going to show off are the Game Tickets.
Pretty much identical in design to the Contenders 2014 release version of Rookie Ink, accepting the fact that these look like they won't be autographs. The only difference seems to be in the bottom right hand corner there is one team logo as compared to a (team logo) vs (team logo). Here are some of the other cards from the set.
The next insert set I'm going to show you will be the Old School Colors.
These are the veteran stars of the NFL in their college colors. They are identical to the 2014 Contenders Legendary Contenders release. Check out some of the other players included.
Autos will include (from what I can tell of the photos) Eli Manning, Jason Witten, Matthew Stafford, Odell Beckham Jr, Frank Gore, Richard Sherman, Joe Flacco, Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker, Russell Wilson, and Tom Brady. I'd love to get my hands on a couple hobby boxes of this product.
Check out some of the pictures below!
Contenders Draft Picks throws in a few extra rookie inserts, under Passing Grade and Rush Week. Those previews are here.
The last insert we get to touch on is the School Colors set, the major rookie insert set.
This list includes the hottest rookies of the 2015 Draft Class, including players such as Jameis Winston, Kevin White, Jaelen Strong, Ameer Abdullah, Tyler Lockett, TJ Yeldon, Duke Johnson and Marcus Mariota. Check out more photos below!
2015 Panini Contenders Draft Picks, the first set of the 2015 season for Panini, are set to be released in 2 days, on the 29th of April. Boxes are around $130, so a lot of hope is being put out for this.
I can't wait to open a box myself!
