First Buzz: 2024 Score football cards

[Slette]

Honestly, I haven't bought any wax since it dried up during the pandemic. But I like the look of these and will likely go against my better judgement and grab some blasters when I come across them.

[/QUOTE]Again - Agree to disagree. I am 95% sure that Score is sold out from Panini. They likely held back enough to sell some to the public on their site, but I don't expect they have extra pallets of it lying around hoping a LCS asks for more. Similarly sure that it was printed to order. The distributors are sitting on their allocations of it and will dole it out over time at their increased prices, but I'd guess that it's sold out from Panini.

Sorry to hear about your LCS, but I am not speaking about this from a hypothetical position. I have 26 cases of this coming in various SKUs.[/QUOTE]



Retail 24 pack boxes, blasters and hangers are easy to get and some people can still pre-order these. I can buy a lot of 12 box retail 24 pack boxes for around $1200 or less from multiple sources.

Do you have Hobby and Retail Direct accounts?

Of course they are waiting around for Hobby shops to ask for more, this is the way they have found, they can make even more money. Why sell to them at $125 a box, when they can wait and sell at $200?

The number of direct Hobby shops is dwindling and the amount of Hobby product they are getting is being reduced. This is the way Panini is moving foward these days.

This is true with panini. Direct allocation has been cut by a bunch since covid.

My highlight from a case is probably these guys....



My first Manziel but not my first Baker. Other notables are autos of Brees, Penix, JJ, Waddle.... My first Brees.... also got Rhamondre and Vrabel autos which go into the collection even though they aren't my first... also got a mystery rookie redemption....

Plus I got a base Kelce 1/1 (black border) and Marino jagged edge /10.

[49erRCCollector]

I’m fairly certain there are no 49ers RCs in score. WT actual F?

[TDK39]

WOW, no Caleb Williams? What's going on here?

Nice pulls, can't argue with puling a Brees auto plus some PC guys.

I know a guy who might be interested in that Marino /10. He's a noted Marino collector. He goes by the name, uh, marinocollector.

Where the heck is the checklist?

They dont want people to know Caleb isn't in this. They wouldn't be able to move this at the prices they have been

[rmw10]

Looks like the checklist is actively in the process of populating on the Panini site. Usually takes a few hours for it to show up fully.

[Anarchy99]

wasnt the rumor that he signed late?

whatever that means? like he signed his Rookie NFLPA thing late which is why hes not in Score-A-Treat or normal Score

yes he has Panini Instant cards, but maybe thats separate? aren't they basically digital cards that you CAN have hardcopies made of, does that get them around a exclusivity contract that he has with Fanatics?

[TDK39]

Don't think Bo Nix has autos in this as well.....hard pass on this poo.

[mogwai316]

.....

[majestik101]

I would only buy a box if by some miracle it dropped to $125.

[49erRCCollector]

I assume some of the missing rookies will be the mystery redemptions.

I still can't believe that there is not one 49er rookie in the checklist. Score is where I get random rookies that don't appear elsewhere.

[Tapeworm]

I bought two boxes of this, and attached are the highlights.

Are you talking about Caleb?

This was debunked long ago. Language for joining the NFLPA is within your league contract. You can opt out of it (which Caleb didn't, as he is in other NFLPA licensed things). Or you join by default.

He signed his contract before many others that are in here. Caleb signed July 16th. JJ, July 19 as an example.

[ddearing]

I opened a case of blasters this past weekend. I’m about to do another one. I was expecting this to be the super thin card stock that was used in the Halloween release, but it’s not. Quality control overall was pretty good though. I pulled four autos in my case and two rookie mystery redemptions

. Seems like a break you’d expect. The mystery rookies are intriguing, but you don’t know if they’ll be released in a few weeks, months or years, could be something to drive sales, but most likely you’ll see them by the end of the season, at best

[Luigi728]

Pulled up this from a single hobby box, maybe one of the best hits in the product?

So you think a Caleb base means that much to a set?

Yes, most reasonable people would believe that the 1st overall pick who is also a quarterback would be included in a set. This would have been his first pack released card with an NFL team logo on it.

Especially because of the release date, which was before Jayden Daniels got off to a hot start to rival Williams in interest.

[supersaturated]

Anyone else a big fan of the Step Ahead insert? I'm surprised lenticular cards aren’t more popular. I guess I like the nostalgia.
