Signs of Black Friday: Panini America Peeks the Autograph Excellence of 2014 Set
Here we are, less than one full week from the biggest shopping day of the year and signs of Black Friday are all around us — on television commercials, website banner ads, radio spots, print ads and seemingly everywhere else that might attract a set of eyeballs, a set of ears or a flurry of mouse-button clicks. But nowhere are the signs of Black Friday more exciting than in the gallery below. Actually, make that the signatures of Black Friday.
Indeed, if you thought our gallery from two weeks ago previewing just some of the autographs randomly inserted into the 2014 Panini America Black Friday set was all we had in store this year, well, think again. In the gallery that follows, we showcase a more comprehensive gallery of the autograph gems punctuating Panini America’s magical black-foiled Black Friday packs.
Kobe Bryant. Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers. Peyton Manning. Mark Messier. Mike Trout. Joe Namath. Kevin Durant. Bo Jackson. Jose Abreu. They’re all featured on the 2014 Black Friday autograph checklist — and that’s just the short list. There are plenty more featured in the must-see gallery below. Enjoy the sneak peek and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage of the 2014 Black Friday promotion.

Would be nice to sneak in some hockey veterans autos. Maybe on boxing day.
Man that Gronk card is super sweet!
David Ortiz looks like a Bad A$$ lol all of these look amazing!

Tracy, I have about 1200 BF packs to give away at my store. How do I get a shout out?
Good to hear. Folks, if you’re near Albany, N.Y., hit up Finnigan’s!
Finnigan’s Sportscards in Albany, NY. Thanks.
Is there a list of participating shops yet??
The autos look sweet!
The preliminary dealer list was included in this post:
Thank you-must’ve missed that being blinded by all the awesome Black Friday card galleries being put out! Can’t wait!!
I’m curious how these will be sold in the hobby shops, do they have to follow a distributor way to sell it, or can they sell it how ever they want to? I know last 2 years I could buy these packs by themselves, but this year for the father’s day set packs at my local hobby shop were sold not by pack, but you had to buy a hobby box to get 7 of them. Would like to know if I need to save up for a hobby box to get some next week, thanks.
Although each shop tends to have its own twist on the promotion, the packs are typically available via wrapper redemption.
Sports Cards Plus of San Antonio is a big fan of all Panini promotions but this one is special. Panini was especially generous with the super star autograph and amazing memorabilia content.
We will have over 1100 Panini Black Friday Packs FREE with your purchase of great Panini products. If you’re in the San Antonio area Black Friday weekend, come on by and have some fun.
Some very nice signatures in that gallery, let the Black Friday madness begin. Thanks Tracy!
Like the designs, want the Beckham!
Pulled the Miguel Cabrera AUTO tonight! 🙂
Any chance of getting some print runs on the Black Friday autos??
Is there a know print run for some of the base autos? I pulled that exact Luck auto and can’t find any info on it.
We’ll get the checklist posted this week.
Thanks in advance got doing that!!!!!!
