Wonder if it will be like retail prizm where there are no numbered cards. Not saying they will but seems like an easy way to run the presses.

How many cases for Prizm?
Optic seems about 3000 depending on number of hot boxes...

Prizm had both regular wax and jumbos

Optic is really slick, I should have ordered a box or even a case before this went up in price.

Skootown · 12-30-2016, 10:44 AM

Wow, glad I bought when I did! Should've gotten more!

Got a box yesterday at $75, same place has it for $100 today.

I was told it was sold out by the distributers as well. We will see if any are being held back. Retail should be interesting, I hope they don't overload it with more unnumbered refractors and run up the total print run.

It would be fun to have some limited base cards and autos

When the product looks great, Panini will destroy it with the retail release.

Then why has contenders been in retail stores for a few weeks now?

BostonNut · 12-30-2016, 02:54 PM

I got utterly destroyed on my case.

Austin Hooper and Braxton Miller as far as the eye can see.

Best cards were a FreeThrowJordy autograph /20 and Goff Black border autograph /25.

How many hot boxes did you hit?

I am interested in the Goff black auto if selling

Two I think...two boxes had four autographs, three or four boxes had two autographs and the rest had one.

It will probably hit eBay once I get everything sorted tonight.

Tough luck but you did hit the #1 draft pick, too bad he didn't play well this year and team stinks.

In all honesty I hadn't hit anything out of Chrome since a 2012 superfractor.

I opened 3 boxes of optic and got 7 autos the best a redemption for Jordan Howard red ref auto /50. I did hit 2 emeralds of which one was a Emmit Smith gridiron kings insert

majestik101 · 12-30-2016, 03:40 PM

What's with some of the boxes not even having an autograph. What is up with that.

TheFrenzy · 12-30-2016, 04:03 PM

Just busted 3 boxes here in Arlington, TX.

Pulled 1, 3, and 4 autos out of them including Jared Goff and Tyreek Hill.

Consider me firmly in the Optic camp. That was one of the funnest breaks I've ever done and I've got a few boxes in the car headed home to bust.

TheFrenzy · 12-30-2016, 04:06 PM

I am curious to see if anyone notices any unusual collation with boxes. In one pack I pulled two of the same Jeremy Maclin cards back to back. They were the second and third cards in the pack. I also pulled 6 Jacoby Brissey cards out of three boxes which was odd.

Yes, I did notice some odd things like that.

Like I said, I got Braxton Miller'd and Austin Hooper'd to death...both in autographs and parallels.

Some mofo somewhere is going to stumble onto the case loaded with either Zeke or Dak and be able to put a down payment on a house...

Will case prices come back down to $900 or below?

No clue...guess it depends on how the secondary market fares.

Did you get your case today? Good luck!

Not any time soon. Demand is like it was for 2012 TC when it came out.

If Dak/Zeke look terrible in and lose their first playoff game you could see it soften some in the off season.

Jesus...just saw it was up to $1130! Holy crap...

I figured $900 was a good buy in but to jump $200 on release day?!?

Yeah I got my case in today. Wonder if prices will continue to go up? Glad we got ours when we did.
