2013-14 Panini Flawless Basketball Cards

If you want unique, Flawless provides this. If you want cards that stand out in a bloated market, you need look no further. Flawless is awesome!! But I stopped chasing cards years ago. What I do instead is let others spen $$$$$$$ for boxes while go to eBay, Amazon, Craig’s List, etc. and buy only the ones (specific player or insert) I could only hope to find in box). Overcoming the rush that accompanies the possibility of pulling a card worth $1-100K enabled me to pave a path back to reason.

Doubled the base set. Design is not as desirable due to ever changing card orientation. Lot’s of dippity-do’s on the card, Not as elegant as the 2012 flawless

Want to bet. Bought a case and wow !!

I agree with Ryan on the 2.5 rating. I really
liked Flawless last year with its player selection
with colorful and unique old school player patches. I remember the cards I bought being fairly ‘reachable’. This year’s new old school entrants that I am personally chasing are Louie Dampier (very cool), Pat Riley, Dennis Johnson and maybe Charles Oakley. For my money, Immaculate had miuch bigger and more colorful old school patches. Flawless needs to do the same given its cost. On the plus side, Flawless features the first game worn patches for the rookie class of 2013-14.

Tried opening one via group break and it was a good fun. Not many can afford this, but the thrill to open one as a group is worth it.

The good: lots of on card autos especially for players that rarely signs like AI or Shaq and more. Hopefully they can get other tier 2 champion players that can sign for panini like Marion.

The bad: panini need to streamline selection of players. Too many tier 3 or 4 players that doesnt deserve to be on the set.

The ugly: price. yes a little too steep for collectors. not for everyone. Price reduction would make this product attractive. Less diamond cards that are not really worth it. Perhaps limited only to tier 1 like durant, james, kobe or other similar fan following.

Overall: it was indeed flawless.
The bad:

And if you look at the prices people are getting on eBay for certain cards..especially now only doing 20 of each..the money can be made back. But per every box you need to be lucky and hit the right player/card!

David some people actually collect and don’t intend on just making a profit or their money back!

That price per box is a joke, right? Is it April 1st already? There is no way in hell you get value back in these boxes. It is laughable.

checklist? please!

Yikes, I posted last comment on Immaculate. Never mind. lol…..Bonehead!

Just looked at Panini’s Daily Blog. It featured 3 “finished” boxes. Man, I was disappointed. There is a 1 of 1 Gary Payton Logoman/Auto. But, many, many cards numbered to 60 or more. Lots of single color relics. Don’t know that I saw the 2 jumbo patch cards referenced here for each box. Saw no Gem encrusted cards. If I got any of the 3 boxes featured, and if all the cards were as shown, I’d be majorly bummed.
