Most of you are familiar with the legendary “Player of the Day” contest Panini sponsors through local card shops each year. The last two years, we have participated in the promotion through our “Busting Packs” blog. This year we are a couple of weeks late to the party since we have been working behind the scenes to migrate all of the old data from Busting Packs over to the Sports Card Album blog. Rather than wait until we are finished, though, we are going to get started with this awesome promotion and begin giving away goodies IMMEDIATELY. There will be several stages to this promotion and all of them will happen over the next 3 weeks, so please pay close attention! Subscribe to our blog (see the right side of this screen) and follow our Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram pages for chances to win multiple prizes. We will be doing a different giveaway on each social media platform to give everyone a chance to win! We will also be adding a LOT of sweet prizes to the pot, so get excited.
GIVEAWAY ONE: November 17th, 2014 — We will begin by doing a giveaway here, on the blog. Right now. Just subscribe to the blog and post a comment on this thread. Let us know what you like/dislike about the Panini POD promotion. How it could be better. Do you have an LCS nearby that participates? Whatever…just post a comment and you have a chance to win two (2) POD packs and a prize pack from SCA.
GIVEAWAY TWO: November 17th, 2014 — Giving away an 8″ x 11″ autograph, three (3) POD prize packs, and an SCA prize pack. Rules on our Instagram page HERE.

I haven’t had much exposure to the POD program. I believe a shop in my state participates, but the shop I go to doesnt. I have seen photos on twitter, and think its great that several athletes are highlighted and given credit for exemplary performance. I cant offer much criticism except that I would hope more card shops open up their arms to participate in it!

I would love to participate in the POD, except there are no LCS nearby for me and boys to go to.Good luck to all, and thanks for the chance to win.

I think this is a great promotion. Just need the card business to pick up so there are more LCS’s allowing more collectors to participate

I have a great LCS named Three Stars Sportscards in Roseville, MN that participates. This year the Panini mobile tour even came. What a great time that was. I love the promotion. Online and in store it is a great way to keep collectors interested and also find a few new collectors.

The Panini POD promotion has been a lot of fun for me. It’s a great reason to get out to the LCS instead of just buying online. I even found a new LCS in town this year b/c of POD! The shop focuses mostly on gaming, but still had a healthy stock of the latest sports products. I even won a Panini POD T-shirt from them!

I am not really involved with the POD , do not really have the funds to get involved with heavy buying

This is the first year I’ve really gotten into the POD promotion, but I’ve had a lot of fun with it! I even found a new LCS here in Richmond, VA called Collector’s Heaven. They cater mainly to gaming (Yu-Gi-Oh and the like), but they did have a good selection of the latest sports products, too. I like that they’ve included the online component through various blogs and sites like yours!

I entered some Panini POD contest but i haven’t won any major prizes. I want to thank Panini for the nice prizes they give away.
