2015 Panini Cyber Monday promo set created for online breakers
By Ryan Cracknell | Hobby Editor
Black Friday is the day many brave the cooling weather to wait in long lines to land all sorts of retail deals. Cyber Monday is the day people get up, pour a cup of coffee and find similar deals from the comfort of their own pajamas. Looking to compliment their traditional Black Friday set, 2015 Panini Cyber Monday is a new promo set aimed at adding an online-exclusive wrinkle.
The separate set is going to only be available from select online breakers similar to how only shops in the Panini Roundtable program qualify for 2015 Panini Black Friday packs.
While 2015 Panini Cyber Monday is a lot simpler in structure to its Black Friday counterpart, there is still original content to be found — particularly for rookie collectors.
The base set has just 14 cards. Done with a Prizm design, every card is of a rookie. Baseball, basketball and football are all represented. Two Prizm parallels exist, which are numbered to 25 and 10.
As far as additional content goes, it’s highlighted by autographs from the likes of Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor and D’Angelo Russell.
Rookie-themed memorabilia cards can also be found.
Special Cyber Monday cards come serial numbered to 7. These appear to be newly created parallels from a variety of existing sets.

I’ll be intrigued to see how these are available. The article says “select online breakers”, but I am not entirely sure what that means. Is Panini shipping these to certain distributors that do box breaks, as a bonus for people that buy and have their boxes broken, or is this going to certain people (companies that do group breaks) that already open a bunch of Panini products as a reward, either for them to keep or to be given out to people in particular group breaks?
Just like everything else, they’ll end up ebay as singles soon enough.
