Panini/GTS Distribution Host NFL Rookie Premier Party – The annual NFLPA’s Rookie Premiere is taking place this week in Los Angeles, CA. Among the many events was a party co-hosted by Panini America and GTS Distribution. This exclusive event is a way of giving back to the two company’s retail partners.

2015 is the third consecutive year the two companies have partnered to host the event. This year’s attendance set record numbers and was a HUGE success. A special thanks to both Panini America and the NFLPA for helping to facilitate this exciting and interactive experience.

In addition to a catered lunch, photo opportunities, autograph signings and a question and answer session, attendees were the first to break 2015 Panini Collegiate Prizm Draft Picks Football. Each box delivers (2) Autographs, (4) Prizms, (24) Draft Picks, (1) Stained Glass and (3) Other Inserts.

The participating NFL Rookies also took part in the action and reactions by both the players and retailers to the product was overwhelmingly positive. The rookies in attendance include many of the 2015 NFL Draft’s top picks including:

  • Jay Ajayi – RB, Miami Dolphins, 5th Round, 149th Overall Pick
  • Garrett Grayson – QB, New Orleans Saints, 3rd Round, 75th Overall Pick
