Panini America Provides Final Packout Peek at 2011 Preferred Basketball’s Penmanship

Last Friday we leaked the first glorious glimpses of the sublime booklet cards that will drop one per box inside 2011 Preferred Basketball. Frankly, it was one of the most buzz-generating galleries we’ve done on The Knight’s Lance in quite some time. But the one that follows promises to be just as juicy.

As you’re about to find out, we took full advantage of our time inside the Panini America printing facility late last week by also capturing the pre-packout process for Preferred’s stunning autographed inclusions. From the need-no-introduction nature of the product’s Silhouettes and Panini’s Choice Awards to the landmark look of the Preferred Signatures, we caught a glimpse of just about everything last Friday morning.

And we’ve put it all together in a scene-setting multimedia buffet that includes a must-see video starring just some of Preferred’s prime hits and a gallery sure to have collectors coming back for seconds . . . and thirds . . . and fourths . . .

First, the video:
