What I discovered were some of the most attractive Rookie Cards of the season, some captivating Legends base cards and, generally, a heaping helping of football card greatness headed your way next week. Here’s hoping the following preview is enough to sustain you until then.
Still too many rookie photo shoot jerseys being put in cards. You guys should innovate and have strictly game-used relics. Cut down the number produced and you’ll make them important again.
Looks great guys. I love the Materil Phenom rookie patch autos every year. Cant wait to get a Von Miller for my collection.
Finally a Patrick Peterson auto! Thats a must get! These look great
Wow some simply stunning cards in this year’s edition! Fantastic gallery!
Another great product! Yeah I like Carnie’s idea more game used relics. But still, Panini is my favorite brand for trading cards! Still buying boxes of Certified Hockey, the cards are awesome and I have sent a few extras that I have to a few of my favorite players to get autos on.
That Cam is Nasty! Awesome set..
Cam Newton rocks in this. These rookie cards by far the best looking I have seen. And nice Hakeem Nicks!! Are Giants in teh rookie lineup for the rookie cards…would have been sweet to have seen Prince or jernigan. Thanks for the gallery!!
This brand looks awesome!
Panini football lineup has been awesome this year!
And you can never go wrong with Letterman. I wouldnt care if gameused or not!
That PRYOR is NASTY!
Some very nice prime cards in there! The Phenom team name cards are especially awesome!
The Lee Evans sticker is upside down.
Some very nice patches there!
Are the Letterman Event-Used or manu-patches?
I believe they’re manufactured but I will confirm.
And while I am at it, I will give more thoughts. Didnt have much time yesterday. I love the base cards. Silver cardboard always stands out and makes them worth collecting a set of. The rookies simply are a drool gallery of their own. I like how you guys include legends also. the draft day single and combo jerseys look really nice. They are also one of my favorites on here. Of course anything with Cam Newton or Giants are. Just wish I had better luck getting a Cam. And that Torrey Smith patch piece used cant be summed into words. Overall I would say this product can be best summed up with the words Emeril would say….BAM!
Always a fun product to open. Hopefully it won’t be so hit or miss. I’ll be going after hockey this year, and patiently wait for Contenders!!!
Awesome look on the cards this yr. Those Phenoms Patch auto gets better every year! Simply amazing. Very purrrty, very purrrty indeed!
wow i like this product every year but this year it looks even better then the past
I LOVE the checklist on this one…I collect a couple players that havent had many nice cards since their rookie year or just dont have many cards all together and I have already been able to track down several that are going to be in my collection for alonggggg time.
Awesome, man. Glad to hear it.
