Panini Father’s Day promo returns
By Stephen Laroche | Beckett Media
Now in its fourth straight year, Panini America‘s Father’s Day promotion has been a solid success for retailers and the company has released early details regarding what will be coming out of these popular packs once they start to hit local card stores next week.
Drawing from three different sports, many of today’s biggest stars and prospects will be present and accounted for as part of a 60-card set along with plenty of limited memorabilia cards. Traditionally handed out as a bonus to collectors purchasing Panini products, they also can act as a way for fathers to bond with their children over a pack of cards.
What are some of the cards included in 2015 Panini Father’s Day packs? Look for more information and a base set gallery after the jump.
The base set consists of 24 veteran players in addition to 26 rookie cards that are numbered to 599 copies each. Rounding out the set, though, are 10 freshmen memorabilia cards which are limited to 99. While not shown by Panini at this point, there will be a pair of 15-card insert sets called Elements and Portraits.
The memorabilia card program will include NFLPA Rookie Debut and NFL Draft Day Materials to appease football fans while basketball collectors can enjoy NBA Combine Materials. The recent Panini Spring Training Road Trip will also get a special set of memorabilia cards and there will be Father’s Day Patches which show some strong pairings of fathers and sons.
Expect to see further details regarding this promotion in the coming days.
