2014 Panini Immaculate Football Cards

I am NOT a big fan of any type of redemption. I’m still trying to get a card I redeemed last August. How is it possible after a year that you still have to wait for your card. Next time I get a redemption I’m going to sell it on eBay. How can you advertise a redemption when you do not even have that players cards signed in stock. I would love to hear from others who have had the same similar experience.

Best card out of the box was a 900 pt card followed by a Conner shaw auto out of /49 sold for 9.99. Boom!

Anyone notice numbers missing in checklist? I BELIEVE that some of the cards in this set have to be redeemed through the Rewards Program. I just redeemed points for a Jeremy Hill Panini Immaculate Rookie patch auto and a Donte Moncrief Immaculate Signature patches auto. Both cards are not on the list

Saw a guy open a box at my LCS today. His big hit was a Rookie Premium Patch Auto (sticker) #/49 of TAJH BOYD!!!!!
I mean, seriously? TAJH BOYD? in a $400 box of cards??? He barely made it through training camp and couldn’t even make it in the FXFL. Why is he in such a late release?
I think I will stick with Mike P & Cody C and just pick them up on Ebay for pennies on the dollar.

So I did 2 case breaks of the product.

The Good:
I was quite happy with the team distribution of the product. There was alot of star power in both cases.
A good mix of relics in each box/case. We did see a quad shield, glove, triple laundry tag and a few game used.

The Bad:
1. Too many points in the product. Each case had 3 boxes with points. The larger the point value included, the crappier autos in the box. I am not a fan of the points as there hasn’t been anything worth redeeming for (at least in football) but that’s another story. Even a 900 points, that is still not worth it for a $400 box. The drop off on auto’s were steep when a point card was included for the hit. Granted it helped soften the blow but I still feel that the point cards should not be in any high end product.

2. Sticker Autos! Especially for alive players and even more so for rookies! Shame shame!

I am not too much of a patch/relic chasers so this product fails to excite me with only 2 autos per box and running the risk of 2 poor auto hits combined with 600-900 points. At about $400 a box, I would rather spend the money on Five Star or NT.
This is strictly breaker material as far as I am concerned. Too many boxes barely eeked back value to the sale price. With that I would not pay more than $60 for a spot as many of the cards are non-auto patches (granted low numbered) and will not hold value as well as the auto patch counterparts.

Sorry, I am against the grain on this one.

After participating in 2 case breaks I think the product is solid. I also just can’t see the price per box justified though. No 1/1’s in the 2 cases I saw. Several nice swooshes but some are #/7, kind of high. Very nice “dirty” patches. A preponderance of Broncos in the 2 cases. The acetate #/ to uniform autos were nice but there is damage to all of those I saw. I got a nice #/12 of John Brown and a couple of solid Logan Thomas RPAs. At least 2 points redemptions in each case. But, either 900 or 600 points. Groups break is way to go but I saw a guy buy Jags in both cases and get one nice patch of Bortles….that was it for about $130/per.

2 autos and 3 relics on average and 1 base per box on average. Can’t get $380 per a box around my head? Should be more like $150. Agree with mike.

After opening 2 cases I can tell you the selection of rookies and star auto/Memorabilia cards is a lot better than lesser products like Bowman Sterling/Triple Threads/Chrome etc. I can honestly say that out of the two cases I have only had one really bad box…the rest all offered a several good cards or a lot of good cards that paid for the box or close too it. I have pulled (2) Auto Patch Garroppolos #’d 10, Beckham Auto Patch, (2) Jumbo quad Jerseys, several limited laundry tag cards including a quad laundry tag card. 2 legit 1/1’s…..sweet vintage players auto or patch cards like Calvin Johnson, Brett Favre, Jerry Rice, Steve Largent & Marshall Faulk.

Any idea why there is other sports autos in this product?? Can wait to buy the base cards for this product for .99 on Ebay next year. I’ll just let someone else feel the hurt at these price tags and cherry pick what I want and get double the autos for the same amount.

Checklist looks phenomenal. I can’t wait for release.
