Have you turned a triple play lately? If not — and it’s not easy — then Panini America‘s next baseball card brand just might let you do that.

Err, well … maybe it will just let you have some fun while collecting.

Panini’s new version of the short-lived, kid-focused card line of the early 1990s arrives this summer when Triple Play comes in July. The 99-cent-a-pack product features vector art drawings of big-leaguers in the 90-card base set — a new look and feel for most any card sets. It also will include oddities such as eye black cards that you can peel and wear to get into your gameday mode.



Among the other inclusions in this one will be Focus inserts — focusing on, you know, the things they focus with, their eyes — Baseball 101 (teaching basics), Hall of Fame (legends), Real Feel (educational game-used cards) and more.

Each box will contain 24 packs and each of them will deliver one sticker, two puzzle cards and a mix of inserts. Each box will include a Real Feel card as well.

The Panini America Routing Table Previews the Unique, Fun 2012 Triple Play Baseball



My name is Tracy Hackler. I am 42 years old. And I have a confession to make: I love 2012 Triple Play Baseball. I know this illustrated, animated tribute to baseball’s best players — with its 99-cent pack price, collectible stickers, and usable eye blacks — is supposed to appeal to younger fans when it releases in July. But I can’t help but love the product even more with each new view I get.

That certainly was the case late Friday afternoon, when I dropped by the all-revealing Panini America Routing Table for one final look before the long Memorial Day weekend. What I found were preliminary routings detailing some of the most unique and entertaining trading cards to come along in quite some time.

Enjoy this extended peek at just some of the fun that’s in store for 2012 Triple Play Baseball, including the When I Was a Kid subset, the Hall of Fame insert and a multitude of dynamic base cards. And stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for additional previews as they become available.

Just when you think no one makes really fun, truly affordable, kid-at-heart friendly baseball card sets anymore, well, Panini America does. And when we say that 2012 Triple Play Baseball is unlike just about any other trading card set you’ve ever seen, that’s not just marketing speak. It’s fact.

The lengthy roster of Triple Play’s uniquely endearing qualities — stickers, temporary tattoos, usable eye blacks, colorful illustrations of the game’s biggest stars — reads like some too-good-to-be-true collectible concoction devised by baseball-loving kids from the ages of 8 to 68.


The following gallery details some of the more enjoyable aspects of a product (including the Focus subset) that also includes wholesome doses of baseball history, education, star power and a pack price of just 99 cents. So as we near the late-July release of 2012 Triple Play Baseball, make your weekend by grabbing the collecting kids in your life, grabbing a seat and taking a look at more of what’s in store for this must-see summer blockbuster.
