Panini America Offers Detailed First Look at 2015 Americana (Preview Gallery)

Jan 28th 2015, 18:19, by Tracy Hackler

As you read this, perhaps the most entertaining brand in the Panini America product portfolio is undergoing a transformation. When 2015 Americana arrives in hobby shops across North America in early April, it will be packed with some of the biggest and brightest stars in pop culture today, including autographs from “America Sniper” star Bradley Cooper and legendary actors such as Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino and Mickey Rourke. 2015 Americana also includes autographs from iconic musicians such as Run DMC, Vanilla Ice and Paula Abdul, and popular personalities such Brooke and Hulk Hogan, Lea Michele and Kevin Hart.
On average, each 10-pack hobby box (five cards per pack) of 2015 Americana delivers four autographs or memorabilia cards (at least two autographs guaranteed), eight inserts and six parallels. The autograph checklist also features the likes of Roger Moore, Alexa Vega, Tony Orlando, Tiffani Thiessen, Martin Short, Laura Dern, James Earl Jones, Jordana Brewster and more. 2015 Americana also includes the unique Winner’s Circle insert dedicated to the grandeur of horse racing and highlighting single- and dual-signed cards from best trainers and jockeys from the sport of kings.

The highlights of Panini America’s 2015 Americana product are many and include . . .

• Big Screen Signatures and Big Screen Combos Signatures showcase some of the biggest movie stars of the silver screen.
• Find autographs from some of the most notable and influential personalities in pop culture such as Al Pacino, Sylvester Stallone, Paula Abdul, Bradley Cooper, Kelly Rowland, Kevin Hart and more more, featuring Blue (numbered to 49), Green (numbered to 25) and Black (numbered to only one) parallels.
• Some of the most beloved television personalities from the past and present are showcased in On The Tube, including signature and memorabilia variations.
• The Freeze Frame insert provides a unique look at your favorite stars with a manufactured film piece embedded in the card.
• Co-Stars Materials and Triple Co-Stars Materials feature memorabilia from cast members of the same television show or movie.
• Find oversized jumbo swatch cards (or multi-swatch cards) of Sylvester Stallone, Hope Solo, Kevin Hart, D.B. Sweeney, Roger Moore, Vanilla Ice and more.
• Silver Screen Materials cards feature authentic memorabilia worn by famous movie stars of the past such as Ava Gardner, Bette Davis, Bela Lugosi, Jimmy Stewart and more, with multi-swatch variations.
• Capturing the “Sport of Kings,” The Winner’s Circle features autographs and memorabilia from horse racing’s best and brightest jockeys and trainers, including Calvin Borel, Mike Smith, Gary Stevens, Pat Day, Jerry Bailey, Todd Pletcher, Bob Baffert and D. Wayne Lukas.

Ice, Ice Baby!

[WhacksPacks]

was prepared to laugh audibly at how bad it would be..but the Pacino and Cooper autos are big gets for Panini. Especially Pacino. That's a huge hit.

Some interesting names, but they may as well rename it though, it's pretty much just an actors and celebrity set now by the looks... Maybe move the few that aren't into a separate release of their own ?

How is Pacino a big get? He's been in the last few Leaf Pop century releases

yah but all of his autographs on stickers are cut off badly..His on card autographs are cool though.. hopefully his autographs look as nice as they do on the preview

This comes out in a week and no checklist. Non-sports definitely has an MO. Is Cryptozoic the only one that releases a checklist of any sort ahead of time now?

Pacino is a monster hit, did Stallone sign or just relic

He's been in every Leaf product the past couple of years, I imagine the value has to be going down.

[geoffyb]

Just want a vanilla ice auto

[Chuck Bartowski]

Jordana Brewster and Tiffany Thiessen are good gets...I may pick up those autos.

[Angus Con]

Not a complete checklist but it's a helluva lot better than the sell sheet
