Leon Sandcastle hits Trading Cards

Leon Sandcastle, AKA Deion Sanders, burst onto the scenes during a Super Bowl XLVII commercial and the popularity of the commerical rose to new heights. Now the fictional Sanders character will be found on upcoming football card releases.

Panini plans of putting Sandcastle into its first two 2013 football card releases of Score and Prestige. For Score, Sandcastle will appear exclusively only in retail packs. He will be featured in the classic 1989 Score design celebrating Score's 25th anniversary. And in June, you can find autographed versions of his rookie cards in Prestige.

Chiefs might have benefited from drafting Sandcastle who can play any position on the field
 Not long after Panini released images of their Sandcastle rookie cards, Topps snuck out an image of their own on Twitter that is set to be released in their Bowman 2013 product.

   

 What are your thoughts on card companies going a little extra to bring you a card like this?
