Pylon in for Panini's Father's Day Promo 2013

Panini keeps revealing more of its Father's Day lineup as the Dad's day creeps closer and for the Panini wrapper redemption program .

To start off Panini released more Prizm images into their baseball part of the promo. I think these Prizms are beautiful and stunning. And fans of the Prizm cards, as myself, will dig finding these randomly inserted into Father's Day Packs.

But below are the things that I look forward to most out of this promo...the incredible memorabilia and unique pieces they include.

These are not pieces you normally find in their daily products. Thats what makes the chase for these cards even more exciting.  These cards are Super Bowl XLV game-used football and end zone pylon cards (limited to 55 copies or less) and 2012 NFL Pro Bowl game-used football cards (limited to 25 or less) making the chase for these cards even rarer.

I also really like the design on the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl cards. It appears they are very high glossed and the color scheme used really fits each individual event.

Let us know your thoughts on Panini's Fathers Day unveiling of these cards.

My Big Ole Surprise Epic Mail Day-TTM

It was a usual day...I went to go get the mail looking for Christmas cards but to my surprise none were found. However this envelope with my handwriting with my signature S.A.S.E.was there.

I thought to myself..I don't remember when I had last sent out a player request. It had been at least a few years. I had given up on doing them since I had only 11 returned out of 40 or so. The odds seemed against me. The one thing I never really did was target star players. Because with star players they won't get back to you. But I took a swing a couple of times. Seems like this is probably the one and only time it worked.

Well, I got to the car and ripped open the envelope and found this:


I was pretty excited to say the least. I have landed people like Roy Williams WR and Michael Turner but this guy was huge. Most of the time I got people who no one has heard of. I guess patience and trying pays off in the long run.
