Oh, five case, not five box. I should have read that a bit closer. That still seems a tiny bit high but not as outrageous. For that price, you gotta hit more than an auto or two. It's that booklet or bust.

I've got 5 and a half cases coming just for personal rips for the kids and myself, should be a fun time! If you can find a hobby box for $400 TAKE IT! Got all of mine on pre-order for 2k a case for less!
From what I've seen I think Impeccable is a better product, but these have some insane huge bangers(redemption be damned).

Good luck but I think it's starting to look like $400 is still going to be a high hurdle to overcome with the breaks we have seen.

There were 0 bloodline booklets and minimal triple and quad autos in FOTL for a reason. Hiding the big guns in the hobby boxes!

[Joshi City]

Got in my two boxes. I think both range from "average" to "ok." Redemption is Edge. I continue my Panini streak of not hitting any big legends but some of the cards are low serial and they did a good job with the relics in this set. They are too expensive but I do love the look of the cards and I think the value of singles won't plummet too much between the autos being on-card and the relics looking pretty good.

Yeah, I was wondering if that was the case. The FOTL even with the extra auto seemed underwhelming. Maybe they intentionally kept the booklets, duals out of it since you already got an extra.

I was super excited for this early but now, after watching 15 or so cases, Im cooling. The highs are waaayyy higher than Impeccable with the big hits for sure but I think I prefer that product more overall. Plus the number of redemptions and stickers is staggering so far.

Totally, people really needed to hit a few times to recoup. One person hit 3 Alexas autos out of their spot so that was a win but the vast majority were busts or hits that still didnt break even. I mean the Becky spot was 700 in one and I dont think even a base was hit. Zero cards for that. Im peeved skunking for 50 or 60 bucks on something so I cant imagine dropping that much and nada. Not for me.

Why does Panini hate you Joshi? I'll be straight up that first box is absolutely brutal, Sami hardcore fan popularity doesn't translate to cards (similar to Asuka) and Joe Coffey as the only other non-napkin? The only hope is a lot of people see Julius Creed as the breakout star of the Creed brothers similar to Montez Ford so that could possssssibly work out in the long run. Second box isn't bad as women always sell well, the Uso patch is cool and Edge should do alright.

P.S. The Bloodline book should be live despite Roman being redemption, all the signers have had recent stickers in products (Chronicles, Select etc.) and as people were upset about over Cena there have been redemptions followed by that same person having live sticker autos in a following product. So the Roman on-cards=redemptions, all the stickers for the book=live

P.S.S. Is Panini panicking on how to price this given market/competitors/reaction to FOTL? Since when does a product dropping in 7 hours still not have a price? Seems weird to me

Panini not dropping pricing until right before it goes on sale has been their M.O. as of late. Feels like they might be colluding with online retailers a bit to find a price that is slightly lower so they can offload their supply without hurting their partners.

The first box isn't quite that bad (although not good haha). Sold the /10 Creed for $75, Zelina probably $150ish based on comps or more with the right buyer (/99 sold for $75), Sami maybe $125 (/10 similar Impeccable sold for $100) but I'll try for higher since he is hot right now, Waller is harder but probably $50 to $70. Then like $50 total for the others. Its not a winner but its not brutal, sadly I've seen far worse. I do need to list them ASAP though before the luster wears off.

Bloodline book is live...might explain Panini's lack of pricing with hours to go.

Nice to see one pulled. Someone else in that same Twitter thread posted a triple on-card Bayley, Charlotte, Becky. I'd rather have that as a PC card/long hold, but that's just me.

Color me shocked that it's live. Boxes with that in it will be noticeably heavier.

Yup, and the hobby boxes I've seen have no fillers so unfortunately, it would be very obvious which are heavy boxes.

[machine74]

I'm sadly not shocked that Panini hasn't released pricing with just a few hours to go. No way I'm ordering these on ebay so this should be interesting.

[MTBRM]

My go-to on Twitter is selling for $400/box, $2K/case. Imagine Panini will come in a little higher than this.

[tomahawk]

$414.95 on Panini.

I'll be sticking to my single FOTL box and count myself as one of the few who came out ahead on this product.

[Brobocop]

Seeing Chronicles sitting there at $130 while online retailers sell them for $200 is hilarious.

Blowout came down to $450 for boxes of Immaculate. Pricing is all over the place and honestly, $400+ is still gonna leave way more losses than winners.

While not exactly low, that's lower than I would have expected. I think I'll roll the dice, unless our group wants a case in which case we will eschew ebay and go for another site.

For the people waiting for the Immaculate boxes to drop, how has the number on the Impeccable boxes been? I know they have dropped but not that much if I remember. I figure the trend of those boxes will show the trend of Immaculate. Unless we find out that it is massively over-produced.

Impeccable has held steady, but had very few redemptions as I recall. It will be interesting to see if the number of redemptions in Immaculate has an effect. Short term, probably not. Long term, almost certainly.

[mnvikingstwins]

There's far fewer high end hits in Impeccable than Immaculate. The gold bars sure but those are more gimmicky vs 1/1 patches / multi in Immaculate

Has anyone pulled or seen one of the nickname autograph with the nickname inscribed?

Just saw a post on Facebook on the Blood line book- its been pulled (or one of them has)

[Brobocop]

$450 after taxes for a box, I think I'm good.
