Drafted One Minute, Rookie Cards the Next: Panini Instant’s Ready for 2017 NFL Draft

[doniceage]

During tomorrow night’s first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, history will be made and dreams will come true during an electric opening night in Philadelphia — and Panini America will be ready to celebrate by making a little trading card history of its own. Beginning at 2 p.m. CST tomorrow, the Panini Instant website will launch Panini Instant 2017 NFL Draft cards for all 32 first-round selections. Roughly five hours later and one by one, those cards will be updated in real-time as each selection is made, meaning each new draftee’s first trading card with their new NFL team will be available just minutes after their name is called.

Personally, I like the pick aspect for it. As you can get the pick before it know for only 5 hours.

15 minutes till the draft starts, and they are already selling these cards.

Many of the 1/1's are already sold out.

I grabbed a Garrett Bolles. Pick #20. Just the regular card.

Uhhh, about the five hour thing. That was earlier today. And only if you were willing to risk that your pick would still end up from your team. They were all listed as "Mystery - Player TBA". I waited until the pick was actually made.

It's really about 160 hours now that the cards have names attached to them. So there's plenty of time to grab something.

A player with NOTHING on ebay, so this looks to truly be his first card, and I got one coming. Pretty cool!
