Panini NFL Player Of The Day Contest Time For Week 5 of the 2012 NFL Season And Our Panini Sticker Album


Last week we revealed the prizes for our contest that include an Andy Dalton autograph, lots of cards and a sealed box of Rookies & Stars along with other goodies.  If you haven’t seen all of the prizes or put in for you bonus entries, use this link to get to the announcement and then come back here for even more chances to win in our 2012 Panini America Player of the Day promotion.

For this week’s Panini NFL Stickers Players we are going to change things up a bit. Not only are you playing for entries in our NFL POD main prize pool, you will have a chance to instantly win prizes this week depending on how many of our Weekly Challenge Questions you get correct. I will be using standard fantasy stats from NFL.com to determine the winners. 

So here are this week’s Panini NFL Stickers Players to Watch.

Our featured players for Week 5 are A.J Green, Victor Cruz and Roddy White.

These three wide receivers are fantasy gold, producing some of the best stats of the season.  All three of them have favorable match-ups this week.

2012 Topps Chrome Baseball Box Break Recap and Review


The smell of maple syrup has returned.  It’s not from sap flowing from trees, it’s from collectors ripping packs of 2012 Topps Chrome Baseball.  Anyone who has opened a pack knows what I’m talking about.  Like new car smell, the smell of freshly opened Chrome packs is unmistakable.  Chrome provides rainbow collectors plenty to chase with refractors of different colors and some of the best looking diecuts to come along this year.

Topps Chrome Baseball falls under our trading card category.  Each box contains 24 - 4 cards per packs with a promise of 2 autographs per box.

Here are some of the cards we pulled.

The Complete 2012 Panini NFL Player of the Day Shop Locator List

Some of the contest questions I've asked you during our 2012 Panini America NFL Player of the Day promotion have involved checking the NFLPOD shop locator to figure out which shop is the closest to you.  I received some feedback that the list can be challenging to deal with so in an effort to make this simpler for everyone I have transcribed the complete list of shops, over 500 of them.  The states are listed in alphabetical order.  The shop names are links.  Clicking on one will send you to the Panini NFLPOD Shop Locator listing for that shop.  There you will find an address, phone number and map for the shop.

Each shop listed is participating in the NFLPOD promotion too and should have a lot of the same prizes we are giving away and more.  So get to clicking, make a trip to your local card shop and support them with your business.

Adam Greenberg Gets His One At Bat And His Own Card In 2013 Topps Baseball Series 1

It's been a long, hard road for Adam Greenberg, who was hit in the head during his only MLB at-bat on the first pitch over seven years ago, one that I chronicled in a previous post "Adam Greenberg And The Road To Completeing His Dream Of One At Bat."  Tonight Greenberg saw 3 pitches from New York Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey before striking out swinging, in-front of his family, the originator of the "One At-Bat" campaign Matt Liston and Fred Van Duzen, who is now the only player in Major League Baseball history to have been hit by a pitch in his only at-bat without taking the field.  Greenberg walked back to the dugout to a standing ovation with a smile on his face, having fulfilled the dream of a lifetime.

The only thing that mattered tonight was that Greenberg got his chance.  While a hit would have been the Hollywood Storybook ending, as Greenberg has said "It doesn't matter if I get hit or I don't, this
