Panini America Reveals SP and SSP Autographs for 2013 Contenders Football

From Panini's Knights Lance Blog:

It’s a phenomenon that takes place every year at about this time. Almost immediately following the release of a new year of Contenders Football, the annual frenzy commences as collectors across North America begin scrambling and scouring to determine the relative scarcity of the set’s ample selection of Rookie Ticket SPs and variations.

It’s a mesmerizing chain of events to be sure, and one that explains, for instance, how a base Rookie Ticket SP of Detroit Lions receiver Corey Fuller can sell for a staggering $290.85 one day while his Variation SSP sells for a whopping $350 just three days later. Indeed, it didn’t take savvy researchers long to figure out just how short Fuller’s super-short-printed variation RC is.


To help provide a a little insight into the SP/SSP craze surrounding 2013 Contenders Football, below is the first of what promises to be many 2013 Contenders Football SP lists. This one is by no means complete, but it does provide a tip-of-the-iceberg illustration of Contenders’ scarcest Rookie Tickets and RC variations. The following list is broken into SPs (cards with quantities of 200 or less) and SSPs (cards with quantities of 50 or less).

Oh, and if you’re looking for a surefire visual tell-tale to differentiate the base Rookie Tickets from the variations, you can find it on the backs of the cards (check out the image below). The base versions include stars around each player’s card-back NFL helmet. The variations do not.

2014 Industry Summit Panini Black Box Giveaway

Each year the very best retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers across the US and Canada meet in Las Vegas for the Industry Summit. Representatives from Topps, Upper Deck, Leaf, Panini America, and others present their 2014 hobby forecast and attendees meet in sessions designed to help boost their hobby shop success.

In what has become one of the more anticipated moments of the Summit, Panini America distributes a legendary "Black Box" to each hobby shop owner in attendance. Here's how Panini described their promo last year:

The cards used to create the Black Box hits include small quantities of overruns from our roster of products printed specifically for inclusion in Black Boxes and for other hobby marketing promotions. It’s something like a multisport Greatest Hits collection incorporating highlights of the year’s best Panini America sets. Every Black Box built for the 2013 Industry Summit will include a slabbed prime memorabilia or autographed card numbered to only one. But this year, Panini America officials are raising the bar by including a little something extra in those boxes... 

YOU CAN WIN WAX CZAR'S 2014 BLACK BOX BY ENTERING ANY SATURDAY GROUP BREAK SPOT FOR EITHER FEBRUARY 1st OR MARCH 1st.

Group Break products include: 2013 Contenders football, 2013/14 Elite basketball, 2013/14 Pinnacle Jumbo basketball, 2013 America's Pastime baseball, 2013 Museum Collection football, 2013 Crown Royale football, 2013/14 Gold Standard basketball, & 2014 Topps Tribute baseball.

This contest is tied to Super Bowl XLVIII so entries must be received by Saturday February 1, 2014!
