2011-12 Panini Contenders Hockey Discussion Thread

Has this been delayed again until April? i am seeing a bunch of different dates online for its release. i was trying to figure out what the next Panini product was, and I think Elite is now coming out before Contenders on April 4th.

Yeah, pushed back to April 4th

Panini just posted the checklist for Contenders which comes out tomorrow. I grabbed the Excel spreadsheet and tossed it up on the blog. Hopefully it helps! Good luck grabbing all the 1/1's that are in this product. :P

Just posted the checklist on the PaniniAmerica.net website:

Happy Hunting!

Should be a bunch of nice cards in here for just about everybody. Can't wait to see some of the Price goodies once they surface.

Does Scott Gomez have incriminating photos of someone? This is two pretty high-calibre Panini products in a row where the guy is heavily featured.

I cannot wait for tomorrow. I think Contenders is going to do phenomenally well. So many great cards. And a lot of huge 1/1's for people to potentially pull.

looks good.

I love the "Oops" combo card they made for Brian Burkes legacy.

Looks like a good set. I noticed that once again, there are no Private Signings cards in this set. I wonder if we will see any more of these cards from the original checklist, or if Private Signings is done for good.

Private Signings are not done. Look for more updates before the card year is over.
