I agree, this would be a stellar product, but the time/costs associated with obtaining autos from international teams, on top of what they charge for autos would make the product expensive, then on top of that, add Panini's greed and we're talking about a $500 box..

I think on card auto products will always tend to be higher end, and expensive, and with the recent surge of interest in Soccer, Panini will capitalize on that and costs will skyrocket out of the gate as well.
