  3. What is going on Tracy good to see you guys breaking some more football. Posted that video to my facebook love the see through cards. Thank again PANINI, MJ

  4. I must say those 2012 Elite Football cards are really NICE!!! Thank You Folks I’ll be here all night. I just had to get that out of my system. Back to the point my son and I look forward to Elite every season by far our favorite set to collect and has been for many years. We collect the Hit List cards as we are big fans of the defensive side of the ball. It’s a little known fact that defense wins championships/Offense sells football cards:) It’s nice to see the defense get alittle recognition. We look forward to cracking open a box or two. Thanks for the video good stuff guys. We posted a link on our Facebook Page.

  5. You guys are hilarious. Funny stuff as always. And love the break. Elite looks amazing this year~!

    1. I must also say I was a little disappointed in the bloopers though. I was expecting a break out dance performance like in the Bieber break. an ELITE dancing style.

      I am curious about something else though..how many boxes did you open during the re shoot and re shoot. Or did you find a way to rewrap each time?

      1. We only busted two boxes. A third one was unwrapped but the packs were not opened. It was a long, weird day yesterday when we filmed that one. We were wither giddy or punch drunk.

      2. And shows us also why you have the best job in the world.

        Great job with the break as always. Got my eye on that Randle.
