In an effort to keep collectors updated on the status of those Panini America redemption cards that are currently being processed, we’ll post a list every week, like the one included in the attachments below, detailing the most recent cards being fulfilled this week.

The following list is intended to inform collectors about which redemption cards from which products are being processed this week. We’ll update this list every Friday afternoon, so stay tuned next week if you don’t see your card here.

This week’s report includes a high number of “rebatched” redemptions — cards from widely broken products that have been previously redeemed but required subsequent shipments due to high volume. In addition, we’ve also added yellow highlights for those cards that were redeemed via replacement. Finally, any multi-signed cards in this report featuring replaced players have been stamped “NO AUTOGRAPH” in that player’s designated signing area.

If you have specific redemption questions, you can contact the Panini America Customer Service department via email at hobby@paniniamerica.net and the Panini America Customer Service Manager via Twitter.

Here’s this week’s report in Excel format: August 17 Redemption Update

BALTIMORE — The distinguished guests entering Panini America’s VIP party Saturday in conjunction with the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention knew they were in for a special night before they even stepped foot inside. After all, it’s not every day that the legendary Gordie Howe, Mr. Hockey himself, greets you at the door.

To the right, DJ extraordinaire Biz Markie is providing the sounds. To the left, Basketball Hall of Famers Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld are holding court with Panini America collectors and business partners. Just behind them, Washington Redskins great John Riggins is doing the same on a night when he’s also celebrating his birthday.

The stunning sights go on and on. Just past the Panini America ice sculpture, Detroit Pistons rookie Brandon Knight is signing autographs and posing for pictures. Against the back wall, Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez, only one of the greatest catches in baseball history, is engaging folks with great stories and a kilowatt smile. In the middle of the room, competitive-eating sensation Notorious B.O.B. is entertaining while others eat.

And everywhere, a room full of Panini America VIPs (collectors, dealers, distributors, business partners friends), seem to be loving every minute of it. Black Boxes, wrapper-redemption packs and good times ruled on a truly landmark night.

Check out some of the sweet scenes from the event — thanks to the sharpshooting lens of Brandon P. Cohen — in the massive gallery below . . .

BALTIMORE — The slowly building surge of momentum at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention turned into a full-blown frenzy Friday inside the Panini America booth, with the largest crowds of the week creating overwhelming buzz and precious little elbow room.

Panini America officials kick started Friday with a special appearance and autograph session from avid collector Ryan Tatusko, a promising pitching prospect in the Washington Nationals’ organization. Tatusko dazzled every collector he interacted with and set the stage for the ensuing madness of wrapper redemptions.

Other scintillating scenes from the Panini America booth during the National’s third day included a brief visit by legendary baseball speedster Rickey Henderson . . . media stops by ESPN’s Michele Steele and Baltimore’s ABC affiliate . . . and three more riveting Box Wars contests.

Meanwhile, the Friday announcement of Panini America’s 2012-13 Kobe Bryant Anthology set made major headlines at the show — and in Times Square.

After the show ended Friday evening, we followed some of the most popular and passionate product breakers in the YouTube and Blog TV universe to the top floor of a nearby hotel for a little after-hours bust that lasted well into Saturday morning. Panini America briefly crashed the party to donate a few extra boxes to the cause and to soak in the ambiance. Filling the packed room were video-break heavyweights the likes of ThetTruth17, ads912, mynyceguy168 (BT), kingofsteak, foxborosensation11, scatshot, bbexpress2, swatko4, lil bb, nosauce21, rbicru7, Brianjs14, 1duh1, briophia, gustopher14, jayhawk1971, balthsar, kollectornet, tricitykid, Jasonheywardfan, wiidiis, rye eagles, Asfan7 and more.

It was another fascinating day in Baltimore that simply set the stage for more. Good thing we have Saturday . . .
