Panini America Delivers Detailed First Look at 2016 Prime Cuts Baseball (Gallery)



For a brand that packs as much prestige, heritage and Hall of Fame content as Panini America’s Prime Cuts Baseball does, three years away from the marketplace can seem almost like an eternity. But in late October, Panini America will reintroduce the high-end release to waiting collectors for the first time since the 2012 season. The time away, however, has likely only increased the product’s allure.
