2018 fotl contenders up on panini app coming soon - Page 3

nickha2 · 12-13-2018, 11:45 AM

I would guess tomorrow at 10CT. Anything else is going to get messy with holiday shipping if its not until next wednesday/friday.

daviswr7 · 12-13-2018, 01:30 PM

it's been sitting there for a while. can't believe no info has been released on actual sale date or #ing of FOTL exclusives.

My guess is also tomorrow...hopefully they tweet or announce tonight.

49erRCCollector · 12-13-2018, 06:33 PM

So do the hobby/FOTL boxes have the more desirable rookie tickets? I'm seeing tickets on eBay -presumably pulled from blasters - but it's all the same random, non-star dudes.

santana5747 · 12-13-2018, 10:25 PM

Well unless some surprise happens this is going into next week..not sure how "first off the line" that'll make it

adavis3232 · 12-13-2018, 10:30 PM

Does anyone else find it strange that retail is out before FOTL? Unless hobby gets pushed back it might be out before anyone receives their FOTL stuff as well. Could this be the first LOTL product?

This threw me for a loop as well.

I don't think it fares well for either the wax value or secondary market singles.

Prices will have softened on retail singles by then.

Can't remember the last time a FOTL product followed retail or any other releases. The FOTL designation seems illogical at that point.

I doubt it will hurt anything. The names coming out of retail are 99% no-name types that won't even appear in FOTL or hobby.

chrispy987 · 12-14-2018, 12:19 PM

Looks like December 19th at 11 am eastern is the time. No update on limits per order yet.

CCSportsCards · 12-14-2018, 12:19 PM

December 19th

goodole13 · 12-14-2018, 12:41 PM

2OTL.

lepcity · 12-15-2018, 11:21 PM

Anyone else think this will spike in value like the last 2 years? Hasn't been tons of hype on contenders so far even though it's one of the biggest releases

ninjacookies · 12-16-2018, 12:10 AM

No per order limit listed yet. Hmmm.

FINS4LIFE · 12-17-2018, 01:31 PM

Limit has been posted on the web site.

*Product will be limited to 3 Boxes per transaction.*
*Product will NOT ship in the case form.*

Hmmmmmm?

Sounds like Prizm.

Expect a lot of 'got confirmation on my 18 boxes!' posts come wednesday morning.

I already got 6, sneak preview went up

mfisher27 · 12-17-2018, 06:04 PM

Would they really release a First Off the Line product without releasing the exclusive numbering/SP?

That would have to be a pretty big blow to the program.

yea that would be a gangster move by Panini not sharing what they are numbered too....

They did it the same way last year. However the base exclusive was numbered.

mfisher27 · 12-18-2018, 10:14 AM

Just about 24 hours away and we still don't have any new information.

I still don't believe they'd release the product without having info on the numbering of either FOTL exclusives.

messier2 · 12-18-2018, 10:33 AM

I'll be trying to buy as many 3 box lots, as I can.

SethMurphy · 12-18-2018, 12:08 PM

i enjoyed the Optic FOTL boxes but I'm not sure I'm going to rush to land Contenders. The depth of checklist every year scares me a bit. But we will see how I feel tomorrow.......
