A
brief interview with Panini America Hockey Brand Manager Al Muir, the
creative mind behind the development of 2011-12 Certified Hockey:
We
led our hockey line last year with Certified. What did the success of
that product do for our entry into the NHL market last year and what
expectations did it raise for this year's version?
We knew we
needed to make a strong first impression with 10-11 Certified, and the
product delivered in a big way. So many elements came together to make
it a hit-the hot boxes, the Mirror parallels, the variety and quality of
the insert programs. Obviously though, we really dazzled collectors
with the auto/mem RCs of guys like Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Tyler
Seguin mere days after they made their NHL debuts. That really set a new
standard for the hockey category, and it's something we're very proud
of. Collectors can expect to see a similar element in this year's
release. We'll have live RCs of a couple of prominent holdover rookies,
such as Toronto's Joe Colborne and Vancouver's Cody Hodgson, along with
the cream of 11-12 freshmen crop. The checklist will be dependent, of
course, on which players debut prior to packout, but we expect some
compelling young prospects to fill out the checklist. Oh, and one more
thing: no TBD RCs this year!
What new additions are you most excited about in 2011-12 Certified Hockey?
Collectors
really responded to the hobby callbacks we made last season, so we're
throwing a few more into Certified. The Gold Team cards look great-a
real advance on what they looked like in the old days, plus there is an
autographed parallel to the set that should be a huge draw. We also have
Stars of the NHL die-cuts, featuring a great effort from our design
department, and Soft Hands, an insert set that features swatches from
game-worn gloves. And then there are the Big Pulls.
Big Pulls might just be the insert name of the year already? Talk about that concept and its foray into the hockey market.
We've
done something similar in previous football releases, but this is a new
one to the hockey market. Each card features a hard-signed over-sized
jersey swatch, but what makes it unique is how it is displayed. You'll
be able to see the autograph through a die-cut window, but if you want
to see the whole swatch, you simply grasp the right side of the card and
slide it out. We think hockey collectors will love it.
