Panini America is bringing back Dominion for a second year.

The company was impressed by the product’s debut with company spokesperson Tracy Hackler wrote on the Panini blog: “Given last season’s highly decorated debut of as the newest super-premium superstar on the sports collectibles landscape, it would be no stretch at all to call easily one of the most anticipated releases of the season.”

One of the reasons fans could get excited by the release is it marks the debut of Gordie Howe memorabilia in Panini products. Panini announced the signing of “Mr. Hockey” in January.

Along with Howe’s inclusion, Panini is coming back for its sophomore campaign with several changes. Fans seemed to have loved the designs last year and enjoyed the number of different cards collectors were able to get from different boxes.

Panini is including more designs and less parallels in order to have an even bigger checklist (which has not been released yet).

There are eight cards in every box with two autographs, three memorabilia cards and one autographed Rookie Patch RC (numbered to 199 or less).

Some of those autographs will include single- and dual-signed cards in Peerless Patches subset.

Dominion will also be a first for Winnipeg Jets memorabilia.

One of the more unique memorabilia cards in the set, includes the buttons from the players chin straps. In the subset, Strapping Lads the buttons are included as part of the card as shown with the preview image of Felix Potvin and Ron Hextall.

There is no release date on Dominion or price point on the high-end box, but check back for more information as it becomes available.

Striving to fortify its first-year impression with hockey hobbyists, Panini will come bearing gifts to the NHL playoffs.

Slated for a release date of June 8,  the 2010-11 All Goalies boxed set will arrive with an affordable SRP — $19.99 — and that desirable quality that defines a comprehensive product like this. Collectors can complete the 100-card-large set and expect to pull five parallels, plus one memorabilia card with each box.

“Outside of a couple of emergency call-ups who appeared after the rookie cut-off date, it’s an exhaustive collection of everyone who manned the pipes in the NHL this season,” explained Panini America NHL Brand Manager Al Muir.

Among the masked men featured in All Goalies,  notable netminders like Felix Potvin, Patrick Roy and Curtis Joseph round out the checklist.

Muir playfully added, “There’s something about [goalies]  that’s compelling even to the casual sports fan. Maybe it’s the personality behind the masks, or their ability to change the course of any game on their own with a spectacular glove save or an unprotected five hole. Or maybe it’s just a respect for the profound insanity that motivates these men to don the tools of ignorance … Whatever the case, the hobby can’t get enough of them, and All Goalies is the only place to find all of the world’s greatest puck stoppers in one place.”
