The release last week of Panini America's 2017 Contenders Draft Picks Football and the arrival next week of the 2017 NFL Draft have collided to create a palpable frenzy surrounding the former as autograph cards of the top prospects have realized some rather lofty sales figures in recent days. Cracked Ice autographs of Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and LSU running back Leonard Fournette sold for $700 and $500, respectively. A Cracked Ice gem of Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey changed hands for $300.

The sad part about REPORTING Officially the Short Prints and Super Short Prints is that Panini ALWAYS Reports them AFTER the have been released and MANY Customers Purchase Boxes, Cases, or get into Breaks WITHOUT This Knowledge. Are you trying to tell me that PANINI DID NOT KNOW this in advance???? They Print them, yet it always SEEMS to come as a HUGE SURPRISE to them when they announce these figures to the BUYING PUBLIC. By then most of the customers have spent a lot of money trying to get the HOT 1ST ROUND PROSPECTS, that are Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers, and Running Backs….with a few Defensive Standouts, like the Overall #1 Draft Pick…..yet NOW PANINI is SHOCKED that these are the Cards that are SP, & SSP!!! Give Me a Break, no Shock here!!!
Always good to see the quality SP auto content in Contenders, thanks Tracy!
