Panini America Offers Detailed First Look at 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball
AUGUST 30, 2013
by Tracy Hackler

Panini America is combining two of the most popular aspects in all of baseball-card collecting — the company’s appealing Prizm printing technology and hot draft picks — for the debut release of 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball, which will deliver the industry’s first on-card autographs of key players from the 2013 draft, a rainbow array of Prizm parallels and the first Panini America cards of Cuban slugger Jose Abreu.

Arriving in late October and highlighted by the first hard-signed cards of 2013 No. 1 overall pick Mark Appel and No. 2 overall pick Kris Bryant, 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball will feature a 100-card base set and key inserts such as Prospect Signatures (100 cards), 2013 Draft Class (50 cards) and First Overall Picks (10 cards) — all of which will be paralleled by Red, Blue, Gold and 1/1 Black Prizms.


The product also will include on-card signatures of top minor leaguers such as Byron Buxton, Maikel Franco and Mike Foltynewicz.

Each 20-pack hobby box of 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball will deliver four autographs, six Prizm parallels and three additional insert cards. We’ll have more information on the product right here on The Knight’s Lance in the coming weeks. But for now, here’s your first extended look . . .

Jose Abreu’s First Live Autographs to Arrive in 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks



This just in — literally: Panini America on Wednesday morning was on the receiving end of a special delivery that promises to be widely embraced by baseball collectors and prospectors when the company’s 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball releases November 6. Cuban sensation Jose Abreu’s first live autographed trading cards are coming.

While we’ve yet to confirm which Abreu signed first (his $68 million deal with Chicago or his stunning assortment of Prizm base cards and colorful parallels), we absolutely can confirm that both developments will drive collectors for months to come.

Abreu promises to be the most anticipated international arrival of 2014 and will enter the majors to considerable fanfare. The 6-3, 250-pound slugger is expected to take over first base in Chicago, where his commanding presence and powerful bat will be welcomed additions.

We’ve provided a quick gallery of Abreu’s first certified autograph cards below. November 6 can’t get here fast enough.

Enjoy.
