Panini America’s much-discussed “Year of the Hobby Shop” mantra so prevalent at this week’s 2011 Industry Summit in Las Vegas is going viral for a contest that will award Black Boxes to five lucky collectors.
We here at The Knight’s Lance promised last week that we’d give our loyal readers a chance to win some of these black beauties. Here’s how we’re going to do it:

1. Go to your local card shop and a purchase a hobby box of Panini America trading cards
2. Video your break at the card shop (and show your receipt, you know, for proof)
3. Post your video to YouTube and post the YouTube link as a comment to this post

That’s it. The first five people to do this will win a coveted Black Box from this year’s Summit.
Oh, you say you don’t have a local card shop in your area? No problem. We’ve got a sixth box reserved for another contest that we’ll announce in the coming days.
Until then, good luck. We can’t wait to watch your breaks.

GO GO GO GO!

I'd do it but I don't have access to a video camera and I doubt the LCS guy does either.

Whew, that was a process. Had the LCS film it, broke a box of score football (all they had on the low end), 10 min video. Bump down the res to 35MB file, drove to starbucks to use free wifi to upload. Entered, now 'awaiting moderation' which means, we will hand pick the winners so i'm crossing the fingers.

So we can count on 6 friends of somebody from Panini winning these then, being informed well in advance of us retail peons. That's usually way it happens with inside contests.
