No Bueckers, she is Panini exclusive now.

If it turns out to be sticker auto's, I'll likely pass.
Man, I miss Press Pass even more now. Hard-signed and full autographs.

Yeah, same here.

Although if wax prices drop, I might try out a box.

is the uconn fan base strong because they don't have a nba team in connecticut

Hell, they don't have ANY major sports team. UConn IS CT's pro sports team

BoSoxFan1999 · 03-28-2025, 12:39 PM

$100/box for hobbies, goes live at 3PM EST. Won't ship till late May. Good job on March Madness timing, Panini. LOL

I get the hopeful thinking but there's absolutely no advantage for Panini putting out a sell-sheet with stickers and then have on-card. Two autos a box with Paige would also be wayyyyy more than $100. Still might be a better proposition than other products if only wanting a Paige auto though depending how large checklist is.

Sarah Strong will be the next big thing, trust me. It's not just a Bueckers or bust set.

I went in for 10 hobbies.

Peachcardsatl · 03-31-2025, 05:18 PM

Sold out early today

BoSoxFan1999 · 04-07-2025, 10:19 AM

Think the UConn women winning the natty makes this an even better purchase.
Helps that this set is pretty much carried by the women (Bueckers, Strong, Fudd), so the men flaming out early (and no McNeely) doesn't hurt its value much.

randino101 · 04-07-2025, 10:49 AM

BO actually has pre order hobby boxes & cases available for Panini's MSRP if anyone wants to grab some more. It's surprising that they haven't already raised prices...

He's not the most popular sports figure, but I have a lot of respect for Geno Auriemma. His resume is insane.

His players are always prepared, and he's an elite motivator. Love his quote about practice here (this was recorded a few years ago):

He has to be the GOAT of women's college coaches (toss him in the GOAT conversation even if you include men's coaches). To coach at 1 place for 4 decades and maintain the level of success he has had....very rare indeed.

BoSoxFan1999 · 05-19-2025, 12:59 PM

Still no confirmation of everyone who has autos in this set. Is it normal for Panini to wait this long to release the official list of autos? This set releases to to the public in 4 days.

Peachcardsatl · 05-20-2025, 09:29 PM

Release date is being pushed back per blowout

June 27th now! Lol of course.

Saw someone post rips of a few blasters they received yesterday. Still waiting on my hobby case to ship.

BoSoxFan1999 · 06-04-2025, 01:30 PM

Well, still don't have a full checklist for autos, but got my shipping notice for my hobbies direct from Panini! Should be here tomorrow.

Good luck with your break. Hope you pull a bunch of Paige autos.

Lol thanks. I'm assuming Paige has autos in the set, but with no confirmed auto checklist wouldn't be shocked if Panini pulled a fast one and she's not in it.

My shipment was supposed to be delivered by noon today, but seeing it's still 1,000 miles away I'm doubting that will happen.

30 boxes, 0 Paige autos.

Though did pull a good amount of parallels of Paige, along with some cool autos of Huskies legends like Jim Calhoun, Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo, Jen Rizzoti, Chris Smith, along with a Sarah Strong auto.

Think I ended up with 3 case hits out of 30 boxes: 1 Thunder, 1 Profiles (unfortunately Karaban, not Paige), and a UConn mascot card which evidently is also a case hit despite not being on the checklist. Lol

Speaking of checklists, the set is now out to the public but still no full checklist from Panini! dafuq Panini! And I gotta say, the QC for the non-prizm/chrome cards is absolute garbage. LOTS of base cards where you can tell the cut was not clean..especially on the backs of cards that have a dark border.

wxguy44 · 06-09-2025, 09:17 AM

I ripped my lone hobby box & got a Fudd /50 auto & a Paige camo prizm. Also an Ice Brady auto & Richard Hamilton /25.

There's gotta be a lot of this stuff if I only pulled one numbered card (not including the auto).

Hey, at least your auto was a good one. I think is the first "real" set with autos of her you can pull. I think the camo prizms are 1 per box.

I also haven't seen color blasts posted anywhere yet.

BoSoxFan1999 · 06-16-2025, 12:17 PM

Nearly 2 weeks after public release, Panini finally releases the full checklist.
