A Tip of the Kap: Panini America Catches Up with Colin Kaepernick for Key Signing
Late last week, while he was leading the San Francisco 49ers through the final stages of training camp in preparation for next Sunday’s 2014 NFL season-opener against the Dallas Cowboys, superstar quarterback Colin Kaepernick made the most of rare downtime by signing some of his Panini America trading cards. In the process, he unwittingly made many collectors’ days.
On the to-do list during last week’s signing: Redemption-card catch-ups for 2013 Crown Royale Football, 2013 National Treasures Football and 2013 Playbook Football. What’s more, Kaepernick also autographed his inclusions for the upcoming 2014 Flawless Football release.
Stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for updates on future signing sessions with Kaepernick. In the meantime, you can prepare for tonight’s final round preseason games by taking a look at just some of the Kaepernick gems that arrived safely and soundly back at Panini America HQ yesterday.

Bam! Now that’s a pretty sweet show & tell. Love to see all the wide range of cards as I’m not a guy that regularly collects football but loves his 49ers!
My first Kaepernick was a playbook booklet 1/10. I got it by accident in a booklet deal. Didnt know what I got untill I unwrapped it in the mail. I love it and now I got a reason to collect the Niners QB. Great to see even more reasons to Collect Panini!
Good Job!! Now about getting JULIO JONES TO SIGN FROM 2011 ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So when are you guys planning to release flawless? I thought this would be the sort of product that would be last on the the 2014 release schedule? Does this mean no rookie game worn materials will be used?
Great stuff!
Great! Now let’s get some retirees to grab a pen and sign away. Corey Dillon hasn’t signed since 2005, here’s hoping you can change that.
Great gallery for those in the Bay Area and beyond, definitely a big name to cross off the “pending” list for redemptions. Thanks Tracy!
I got my Panini Contenders Kaps off Ebay before he got his first start. For once my speculation paid off.. I bought 5 rookie autos, 2 of which were variants, all for under 20 bucks each!! Woooo hoooo!! I love contenders but these cards in the gallery are freakin SaWeet!!
