2015 Panini Flawless Football Cards

After debating on whether to purchase this very expensive product, I took the Nestea plunge and broke open one of the best boxes ever as a collector. Below is what I pulled:
1. Andrew Luck (on card autograph / numbered 3 of 5)
2. Walter Payton (Diamond / numbered 7 of 20)
3. Bruce Smith (Sapphire / 1 of 10)
4. Don Majkowski (One of One Patch, two color patch)
5. Clay Matthews (on card autograph, two-color patch / numbered 6 of 15)
6. Andy Dalton (on card autograph, three color “dirty” patch / numbered 16 of 20)
7. Tevin Coleman (on card autograph rookie / numbered 8 of 15)
8. Matt Jones (on card “Progressions” autograph rookie / numbered to 15)
9. Derrick Brooks (three color oversized patch)

Again, this was an excellent personal, box break–no complaints here.
6. Andy Dalton

Design is nice but noway these should cost that much. I am all for a high end product but step your game up if you want 1k+ for this product. SMH

Flawless by the box/case, while a beautiful product, fails to deliver value for money. Same goes for National Treasurers, Immaculate, Luxe and Black Gold. Designing and manufacturing a beautiful product is great but if you fail to provide a value for money proposition then you are out of business. Apparently this business logic does not yet apply to Panini.

Couple lack of value with non-existent customer service, high rates of redemptions and incredibly long waits to fill said redemptions then one would believe that Panini’s business would suffer – again maybe they defy logic.

I can only imagine what we have to look forward to with Panini holding all the cards for football this coming year.

You are correct and im sorry to tell you but certain products do go to others. We just buy more then the small guys.

I will throw this out there too….I’m starting to have a hard time believing that certain high end cards are not going to certain buyers/dealers/distriburtors. Maybe its my bad luck, I am ok with that result…however, I find it co-incidental at best, that the same people with certain products somehow end up with the same top cards pulled from the products. How does one person end up with Flawless Brady auto patch to 5, Gold to 10 and the diamond of 20 card? Great luck? Also the same guy who has for sale the NT Winston RPA 1/1 Shield Auto…and the hits keep coming…

Cracked a case for my personal collection today. Sad! Panini should be embarrassed. Nearly $3k for a case and I might have $500 in cards to show for it. In a case, nothing of Gurley, Cooper, Winston nor Mariota. I personally don’t care about Elway, Fran Tark, Faulk or any other HOF’ers or past players. Massively disappointing product, considered these are “supposedly” hand ‘collated’. The little briefcases are awesome tho…just basically $3k card carriers.
