Hot in the Shop – Week of December 5th, 2016 – LOADED!! – It’s the final month of the calendar year. For many shops it’s also the close of their fiscal year. That being said, collectors, dealers, breakers and online retailers can expect a very busy month of new product releases to close out 2016.

A flurry of NCAA football bowl games kicks-off on December 19th. Expect a small increase of interest in collegiate themed football products. Now might be a good time to stock up on Panini’s team-based sets applicable to your local market.

This is also the time of the year where interest in basketball really picks up. Expect to see more than a few NBA basketball card releases from Panini that should perform very well.
