The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2014 Elite Extra Edition Baseball (102 Pics)

Since its inception, Panini America’s Elite Extra Edition Baseball franchise has been nothing less than a baseball prospector’s dream release brimming with autographs of the game’s most promising young players, Hot Boxes and a colorful array of trademark autograph parallels. It’s a recipe that has worked brilliantly for years — and one that promises to work once again when 2014 Elite Extra Edition Baseball arrives in hobby shops across North America on Wednesday.

Each box of 2014 Elite Extra Edition Baseball will deliver at least six autographs (although many boxes will deliver more than that). In addition, 10-autograph Hot Boxes will fall roughly three times per 20-box case. The product also features key USA Baseball autograph and memorabilia cards as well as a unique Throwback Threads insert honoring Jose Abreu with pieces of his his Cuban National Team uniform.

In the Quality Control Gallery that follows we offer an extensive showcase of 2014 Elite Extra Edition Baseball gems that surfaced during the packout and Quality Control processes. Enjoy the sneak peek and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for additional coverage.
