The autos are gonna be sick, but it seems to be like they will be extremely hard to hit.

I wonder how much it is a case? When's the release date?

Hoping it isn't in June / July...

That's a hell of an auto checklist. Best ever for a soccer product without a doubt.

[IMG]http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/iasip-dance.gif[/IMG]

depending on the price, this product is going to be huge. defiantly, defiantly ready to bust :D

Ronaldo and Pele :D:D:D:D:D:D

[QUOTE=Trouty;6734888]Ronaldo and Pele :D:D:D:D:D:D[/QUOTE]
im scared to see how much that will fetch. Messi is in the checklist as well, we can all but guarantee a dual of Ronaldo and Messi has crossed panini's mind... this could be huge for the hobby. Like i said before, if Premier Gold Hit off, other companies will catch on :)

[QUOTE=excel_b;6734111]I wonder how much it is a case? When's the release date?

Late April.

My buddy who is distributor says SRP is $100 per box

On card Ronaldo auto? AWESOME. Was hoping they would get Neymar Autos.

Wow looks really good. Time to start saving

Looks like the base card design is actually decent...

I wonder if they are going to be doing Jumbo boxes of these?!?!?!

Also, I think if the configuration is the same as other PRIZM releases, I bet you autos will be 2 per box and probably stickers but excited to see this!

A bunch of illustrations and a list of over 50 autographs in this collection....

[QUOTE=mfw13;6737287]Looks like the base card design is actually decent...[/QUOTE]

yes these look very sharp . so glad they didnt go with the design they been using for the other sports .

The real question is whether the autos will be sticker or on-card, and how many will be redemptions.

Just located a Japanese dealer's sales sheets. Looks like the auto checklist is even more impressive than initially thought. I just hope the autos are on-card. If they are, this would be the best product ever without a doubt.

Not a single scrub to be found. :)!

so curious about the odds on the autos, but goodness that is quite a checklist. (could have lived without honoring "Fuleco" I suppose...)

I bet the auto checklist is 200 - 300 cards long unless autos are hard to pull. There is no way they can do 1 or 2 autos per box with that list of players.

could be...that's 55ish names on the list someone else posted though, they could maybe pull off 1/box

man I cant wait till this product comes out!

when's the presale?

^ Already available from the other big card dealer for $108.95 - I noticed they also mention Javier Hernández will have an auto and a few Fans of Game Autos featuring Andrew Luck and Kobe Bryant.

The auto checklist is huge. can't wait.... :)!
