Panini Collection, Rookie Portraits Add Pop to Panini America’s 2014 Black Friday Set

[doniceage]

We began pulling the curtain back on the grand plans for our 2014 Black Friday promotion set earlier this week. Now that the preview process has officially begun, you can count on The Knight’s Lance to deliver must-see previews featuring just about every part of the set between now and late November. Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Panini Collection and Rookie Portraits subsets.

The striking Panini Collection has become a Black Friday staple the last few years and will continue in 2014 with a new series of emotionally charged and arresting images. One look at the Jimmy Graham or Giovani Bernard cards in Panini Collection and you’ll understand immediately exactly what we mean. The new Rookie Portraits subset, as its name suggests, is anchored in portrait photography featuring some of the freshest faces in the game.

Not sure why this is here since they aren't allowed to make hockey cards anymore...

Should have clicked the link Rich :)

They are allowed to make all the hockey cards they want. They just have to come to an agreement with the individual player, since they don't hold an NHL or NHLPA license.


Granted, there isn't a lot of hockey showing in the pics

Glossed right over the Messier in there. I can't see there being too much there for us folks anymore.

Makes me wonder though.... Panini could not possibly have gone through all their GU material. Is there an unlicensed set (or two) in their future??

I thought the NHLPA told Panini to either use everything up or destroy what was left after NT........

[30ranfordfan]

I never heard that one?? How can the NHLPA tell them to do that??

I don't think the PA can legally do that. However, they could say destroy what you have if you ever want to be reconsidered for a license
