First Buzz: 2023 Panini Chronicles WWE wrestling cards

Being able to hit Nebula 1/1s, Optic gold vinyls, National Treasure plats, etc. all from one product is definitely very cool, this along with Select is the definition of a "collector's product" imo.

Dang, I didn't even know they were in last years. Just checked back looks like only 3 base nebulas have sold on ebay. Crazy.

Had been seeing some blaster breaks on YouTube and it looked like Panini really went hard on the numbered stuff in this. Just bought a blaster for myself that had:
Classics Diesel purple /349
Bret Hart Spectra pink /199 (real nice card)
Grayson Waller Limited green /75
JD McDonagh Prizm red auto

Which is like...a hobby box worth of hits in any other product.
Lots of fun for not much $$$

Do you know how long it takes to reach a Professional Wrestler to Read and Write? Some are still a work in progress. The Struggle is real.

And yes, I'm just kidding. Don't do a RKO on me!

I'm sad that they entirely snubbed Pretty Deadly and Charlie Dempsey from the checklist..

I figured Ziggler would be gone since he was released and that Naomi wouldn't have returned in time but that is still sad.

Cameron Grimes' likely final stuff this set is more than I expected though. Two more autos and 1 base card is more than a lot of people I collect for.

Drew McIntyre has a lot of stuff like I expected. Same for Austin Theory so I'll focus on them for the most part.

My LCS sent out their Monday email with the week's upcoming releases and prices

This comes out on Friday. They are charging $175/box

I am wondering what Panini is going to list them for in their shop, most online retailers are hovering between $185 and $200 so I figured in that range so they didn't undercut their online distributors. Will be interesting if they list for $175 too.

My thoughts exactly. I have the opportunity to snag them at around $185, but I might wait to see what Panini offers. Hopefully they put a price up before, I don't know, they just go on sale.

This is the first product I've seen in forever that is barely selling for over MSRP out the gate lol not sure that's a great sign

[LaloSalamanca]

I will gladly take a hobby for well under $200 lol so that'd be neat if Panini lists it for around $170-$180

Cody is a redemption again. 🤦#@♂️

That sucks, coming off his WM win he would have been one of the hottest autographs in the set.

[ThatGuyPal]

He'll probably be live in Prizm, but hobby won't be "under $200" then everyone will complain he's live in Prizm and not Chronicles even though the same thing happened last year and people still chose to spend their money on it lol if you're fooled once....

[Joshi City]

Every WWE set will have redemptions, if my options are never buying another WWE set ever or risk pulling a redemption, I'll risk pulling the redemption. I enjoy busting boxes of wrestling cards too much to stop doing it just in case of a .5% chance of pulling a redemption that won't be fulfilled.

The only thing I rage about in boxes is getting panini points instead of a hit but I haven't had that happen in awhile thank goodness. My case of this is supposed to arrive tomorrow so we'll find out shortly how that went haha

[tomahawk]

Yep, people who opted for Prizm last year are instead complaining about their Triple H outstanding redemptions that are *never* going to be filled. At least Cody is signing...

[LaloSalamanca]

I mean redemptions are a part of the game, I get it. I just wish panini was consistent. Cody has outstanding redemptions for chronicles 22, immaculate, select & revolution. He signs for 2 new products and doesn't sign his redemptions...and now he has redemptions again.

If he's signing, have him sign the old stuff too before you toss him in new products with live autos. Now he's gonna have 5 sets of redemptions to fulfill lol

Hmm. I was set to grab two tomorrow, but I already opened 6 blasters and got some decent hits with two autos. So I guess it's the case of what's more valuable, one hobby or six blasters?

Right, I got better # cards in one blaster than I think I did here
Stratton /199 Spectra and Roman /75 Origins

I also just realized I didn't get any Action Packed, but also that Action Packed isn't mentioned anywhere on the Hobby Box

What to do, what to do. I'd be psyched with that Stratton. I got a purple Rey Origins, Tatanka Auto, Dar auto, and a bunch of numbered.

Blasters are about $1.20/card, hobbies about $3.85/card.

Price is posted on Panini's site, $179.95.

[ThatGuyPal]

$179.95 seems fair based off the two box break posted here.

I was going to get more, but my thinking is I'll put that cash towards an Austin auto if I don't a big one in the box.

I'll post all my boxes in a bit, still on Box #4, just had to stop for a sec to laugh at myself.

This reminded me of the person who pulled an Austin auto from a case of last year's Chronicles blasters lol
