2016 Panini Crown Royale Football Cards

I must have had beginner’s luck, pulled a Dak Prescott Rookie Silhouette’s Jersey Platinum numbered to 50 on my first box ever and straight from my LCS. Outside a handful of the autographs, that’s probably one of the best from the set. However, I did not get an Auto in the same box, like they advertised. I was willing to shrug it off after that pull but it still would have been cool to get what the box said. Honestly, for the price it’s hard to complain about this box. I’ll buy more.

Crown Royale was one of my favorite sets to buy and build. I started getting into the NFL back in 2009/2010, so I jumped on Crown Royale when it was restarted in 2010. It was a great set as were the following 3 or 4 years. Starting in 2014/15 it began declining. This set being considered the base set for Preferred is just sad. Guess this might be the last year for this set. Sad how it fell so badly.

It is a decently priced box at just around $30. The cards are very nice looking. I got a pink and bronze parallel of Darren Sproles and Russel Wilson. I also got a CJ Prosise Rookie Silouhette and I got a Sean Davis Platinum Auto numbered /50. I could sell the contents for at least $30. Well worth it.

Wooooow. I purchased this product at Walmart for $40 cause Crown Royale had been pretty decent in the years past. I got home and looked on this site to see the checklist and read the reviews. It definitely was not confidence inspiring so I then went on YouTube to see some boxes of it busted. I immediately went back to Walmart and returned the unopened box as fast as I could. To start off just as the checklist states there are only 3 different types of cards you can get. The base, a sticker auto and then a plain Jersey relic. All 3 can be numbered but that’s it, no Patch parallels or silhouettes. Upon closer inspection of the checklist I wanted to see how short printed the bigger names were and let’s just say it’s next to impossible to hit a zeke or wentz. Thanks Panini for stealing your customers money with this product. Heck I would even steal this garbage if the door man at Walmart gave me a free pass, seriously. Oh yeah and then it seems your lucky to get the crappy sticker auto as some people have even gotten a 150 save me for later points card that can’t even buy an auto off Paninis store! Horrible!

Same above. No autograph, despite what the box states.

I gave up buying Panini products for myself about 3-4 years ago. I recently purchased a box of this for my 13 year old cousin for Christmas since it’s the only licensed NFL product. I was under the impression he’d receive 1 auto and 1 relic. Mostly because it was on the box and the owner of my lcs said as much. No AUTO, 150 points instead. Panini needs to learn people don’t like or want the points. Especially a kid on Christmas. I need to wise up because now they say 1 Auto and 1 Relic, on average. You got me again Panini. Never again!

Panini is saving on ink costs now by coloring only half a card.
