Video & Gallery: On the Production Line with 2011 Absolute Memorabilia Football
October 10, 2011
Last Friday we gave you a tantalizing peek into the packout process for 2011 Absolute Memorabilia Football, an image-filled appetite-whetting precursor to today’s exclusive video footage taken right there on the production line.
In addition to the brief-but-compelling piece of cinematography that follows, we also managed to get our hands on some additional cards from packout that will shed just a little more light on what collectors can expect from the highly anticipated product that began shipping today.
Enjoy first the video . . .
And then the gallery . . .

Dang, I hope these’ll be available retail.
And you need more dramatic theme music. Maybe the Final Countdown by Europe 😉
Funny. And yes, Absolute will have a retail component.
i sure hope there is some contests for this tracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or a box break or 2 LOL
Tracy, I heard from my card shop owner today that this product has been delayed one week til the 19th? Can you shed some light on this please?
Truly breath taking video.
HEy Tracy is it true that Absolute got pushed back until next week? Thats what a local cardshop owner said. I saw you said it starts shipping today but i was just wondering if that means we will be able to buy it this week or next week? Thanks!
The official release date is Oct. 19.
My anniversary…..hmmmmmm……wonder if my wife knows 🙂
You might want to remind her, Matt.
I’m a little disappointed that there are stickers autos in this product. $155+ and you still get stickers? Not happy! I might buy some singles, but there’s no way I’m buying boxes of this. Certified and Crown Royale seem like their FAR better values!
Hey Chris you must have not noticed that just about all of the rookie autos are on-card, as will Crown Royale and Certified which will be the first time since ive been collecting. I think Panini is doing a great job on including on-card autos this year. You should buy some boxes of Absolute this year because the design this year is SICK and the patches are always AMAZING in Absolute. And let me know if you hit a Aaron Rodgers auto because i will buy it from you! Ha ha, 4real though, i am his #1 fan. Take care
WOW!!!!!!!!that is freekin cool looking man!! When are they coming out??
Wow!! And thanks for posting some Gmen!! These cards look amazing!! Wished they were coming off from the production line to my house directly!! The tools of the trade are amazing! The entire product is! This is honestly, i mean honestly, the third time i have had to look at these i am in such in awe! Thanks for sharing! Cant wait to see them in stores and online for sale! Absolutely Amazing should be the new product name! You should talk to the team about it!
And thanks for the Cam showing as well! That guy has been amazing this season!
Tracy,
I don’t think I could control myself in a place like that. Don’t you ever get the urge to just reach back and snag one of those beauties. I know it wouldn’t be professional to admit it but they just look really enticing stacked back to back like that in piles of 100 or more!!! Thanks for sharing all of that, now I am more jealous of you than ever!!
Tracy, why do you keep tempting me to spend my son’s law school tuition money on more Panini products? That Ingram is the BOMB!
Brother Steve, that’s my job!
Wow, i love these production line videos of how it all comes together. The one from a few months ago with them all getting sliced and packed was AWESOME. And chance of getting a camera into the printing facility one day or is it all a hush hush secret proprietary process?
Glad you like them, Rhys. I’ll get some more printing facility footage at the next available opportunity.
These are the best looking cards so far this year! I hope i can get me some bengals Rc auto’s out of this stuff. Great preview video tracy. Cant wait, there almost here.
Awesome stuff. I really enjoy these “behind the scenes” videos and I love the on-card rookie autos even more. Excited to see the Vick, Foster, Peterson, Rodgers, and Polamalu autos in the video…LOVE chasing after the superstar veterans!
Again, this is the best Absolute has looked in a few years. Awesome stuff!
