Panini Peek: Contenders

[PHK - AL]

$6 a pack. Hard-signed rookie autos (the design has changed from what's shown above to create white space for the 'graph). And yes, that Recchi is just a mock-up. NOTHING you see on a PIS should be taken as a final representation of what a card looks like. Things are always being tweaked up until they make us stop.

Nice! Any possibility of including some shots from the 2011 Heritage Classic? :) :) :)

One more on that theme...it's been a long time and he's long since moved on from the team, but a card featuring Jose Theodore in the iconic touque from the '03 Heritage Classic would be the bee's knees.

There will be three images from this year's game. And yes, Theo will be in the set--with that belle chapeau--but it will be a different image than anything you've seen before.

While I know that Jose is the one from the '03 game that would have to go in, if you're going back that far...... I'll just make it known that I'm crossing my fingers for one of Bill Ranford too, despite him not wearing a touque :)

Al,
You need to post here more often.

P.S. Unrelated to Contenders, but any chance you guys can get an Adam Baldwin LA Kings Fans of the Game autograph for a future set?

Wish I had more time to post but honestly, the pace at the office is a little frantic, as you might imagine.
As for Baldwin, wasn't aware he was a fan. Always interested in adding names to the list. Keep in mind though that while a celeb might be interested, often times his/her reps don't see the value in appearing on a trading card. Extremely frustrating...

I guess I'm not the only one who's impressed to see someone from Panini taking time to have a chat with us.

That seriously kicks ***!!!!!

i definitly appreciate the interaction with collectors. I thought it was cool seeing the pictures of the guys signing the redemptions, and the QC done behind the scenes.
