Keeping up with Panini releases is harder than keeping up with the Kardashians

Stats · 11-23-2015, 11:21 AM

xavieronly1 · 11-23-2015, 11:22 AM

Panini Optimus!!!!!!!!!!

There we go. I was wondering how they could save up all these tag for a season long. It makes perfect sense.

12-13 Immaculate released in Dec, 2013. What is so surprised?

smalltown · 11-23-2015, 11:30 AM

Interesting.

This is getting pretty ridiculous. What is even more ridiculous is that they haven't done any advertising or pumping of this product, no one knows what it will be, and STILL it will sell out because of all the breakers.

I LOVE high-end stuff, but can there really be that many cards that will return more than a spot price (assuming 500+ for a hit draft). I'm not a Super Break fan, but at least there is a shot at Babe Ruth and other rare autographs. If they don't have full GU jerseys or really rare pieces (outside of another release of 1/1s), I just don't see how there could be good value here. I'm interested to see more on this.

If you didn't see the video (it's easy to miss because it's not labeled), check it out. There are cut autos of Babe Ruth, Wilt Chamberlain, Pete Maravich, Ty Cobb, JFK, Larry O'Brien, and Jackie Robinson. Probably others as well, but those are the ones I saw.

I like the fake manufactured logomans in silver, gold, and platinum. Just kidding.

spurs50fan · 11-23-2015, 11:32 AM

Those cuts alone will move it

I saw Ruth, Cobb, Robert F Kennedy, Pete Maravich, Wilt and maybe a couple more in the video on the page.

Woah.

the27guy · 11-23-2015, 11:33 AM

Greed yes. Stupidity - that remains to be seen. They're obviously trying to see how far they can push things.

I'm not so sure. Breakers will do something like 1 case of Eminence $5500 and 1 case of 2014/15 Panini Prestige Premium $419.95

$5919.95 - 30 teams.

$197 per team

or

$5919.95 - 31+ hits

$190 per hit

People will bite.

alanlam · 11-23-2015, 01:36 PM

This must be "Optimus" or "Megatron" or whatever everyone was calling it a few months ago.

It looks interesting. Way out of my price range but it'll be worth monitoring.

That video was absolutely awful. Its borderline seizure inducing. Loud noises. Bright flashing lights. Blurry everything. Very Panini.

Well, they seemed to have done well with Flawless at less than 2 grand per case. I can see breakers and high-rollers buying this.

I hate to say this but group breaks will be ripping all of this product. That's under $200 per team or around $800 per card in a snake draft. Plenty of people will be willing to chance it.

smalltown · 11-23-2015, 11:36 AM

$5,500.00 -> 7-10 cards.

This makes even group breaks near impossible to entertain. At 7 hits were talking like $785 per card.
