Later this week in frigid Ottawa, Panini America will begin heating things up during the 2012 NHL All-Star Fan Fair with another of its show-stealing wrapper-redemption programs.

The company has engineered a fully loaded show-exclusive set for NHL All-Star fans and collectors, complete with rare autograph and memorabilia versions and special All-Star patch cards sure to keep wrappers ripping from the time the show opens on Thursday to the time it closes Sunday afternoon.



Special three-card wrapper-redemption packs will be available to fans and collectors who open select 2011-12 Panini America hockey products at the company’s 2012 NHL All-Star Fan Fair booth while supplies last.
Collectors who open four hobby packs of 2011-12 Pinnacle Hockey will receive one wrapper-redemption pack
Collectors who open two hobby packs of 2011-12 Certified Hockey will receive one wrapper-redemption pack
Collectors who open one box of 2011-12 Score Hockey will receive two wrapper-redemption packs
Collectors who open one hobby pack of 2011-12 Limited Hockey will receive four wrapper-redemption packs

Below, we’ve provided an extended gallery detailing this year’s base set, special patch cards and some of the base inserts featured in the 2012 program. Tomorrow, we’ll showcase a spectacular assortment of the autograph and memorabilia gems randomly inserted into the packs.

Stay tuned for that, as well as for details on how you can participate in this year’s wrapper-redemption program online if you can’t make it to Ottawa.
