A Special Edition of Panini Unwrapped: Our 200th Episode Stars 2012 Limited Football

January 15, 2013

200Ep_BlogThumbLarge

For this special 200th episode of Panini Unwrapped (man, have we already done that many?), we thought we’d let the product in the video — the highly anticipated 2012 Limited Football — provide all of the fireworks. We’ll save the special celebratory giveaway until after you watch the video.

2012 Limited Football releases to the hobby tomorrow packing three autograph or memorabilia cards per box (with at least one autograph guaranteed), and some of the most attractive designs and photography of the 2012 NFL collecting season.

As you’ll see in the video, Panini America’s Tracy Hackler and Carlos Torrez also discover that Limited includes some pretty amazing Rookie Cards and jumbo memorabilia gems, too. And you’ll have the chance to win them . . . after you watch the video.

Now, for the special 200th episode contest. We’re going to give away the cards in the image below (some of the sweetest hits from this edition of Panini Unwrapped and from the Limited teaser gallery we posted last weekend) as five two-card lots through a special Knight’s Lance scavenger hunt.

Limited FB Contest

In the two Limited galleries linked below, we’ve hidden nine letters (five in the first gallery, four in the second). Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find those nine letters and put them together to form one particular word and leave your answer as a comment to THIS POST.

Good luck. You have until exactly 12 p.m. CST tomorrow (Wednesday, January 16) to get your entries in. Five winners from all correct entries received will be awarded two of the cards above. Here are the galleries:

    Hey guys, awesome contest! Uh, could you please be more specific when you say letters? I am not exactly sure what I am looking for… thanks!

    • January 15, 2013 2:49 pm

      You’re looking for nine letters (as in A, B, C, D, E, F, G . . .) hidden on nine different cards throughout those two galleries that, when put together, spell one particular word.

    My Answer: LIMITLESS

    C’mon Chandler Jones, my Jon Jones auto needs the company of his brother’s 🙂
    Ray Lewis, Brock and Russel Wilson Prime card are also very very sick! Who are you rooting now that Denver is out, I want to see the Harbaugh Bowl and Ray Lewis to retire a winner. I’m expecting an exciting BAL vs NE game this weekend!

    Big fan of Limited, I pulled my first HOF Monikers auto – Jim Brown

    Also one of Chris5784 best 3 box break was out of Limited – Shield 1/1, Base 1/1, AP Rookie Jersey Auto, that was a sick break.

    Thanks for 200th video!

    And if I can mouth off for a second, thanks again for running all these contests. Every time I scroll through a gallery hunting for some screwy image or other, I see some gorgeous cards, which makes me pick up a pack of Panini at the LCS, which makes me start collecting your sets – so marketing mission accomplished, but with an honest feeling of excitement and community. Panini is the best example I can think of of a company that uses the internet to build a loyal and happy customer/fan base. Thanks again, and congrats on the 200!
