If Panini Makes One More Insert Related to Color I Will Implode

SoccerRCs · 06-29-2023, 11:35 AM

Panini has to seriously be the most lazy, uninspiring, unartistic, boring card company to ever exist.

They make one nice looking insert Color Blast and then not only do they repeat making it every year with no meaningful difference, they now make Color Wheels, Splash of Color, Water Color, Color Guard, Color Burst, Color Rush (No really folks, those are all different Panini inserts). My gosh. It's monstrously stupid. It's embarrassing. We got it folks! You know how to make insert with the word color in it.

They deserved to lose their licenses. If fanatics does anything right they won't retain anyone in the creative department.

There are prolly profits to be made in all the confusion and more confusion.

They need a pizza prizm then they could do like #5 pepperoni pizza, #10 sausage pizza, #25 garbage pizza. Cause then they could get a sponsor and another retail chain to sell their crap to enthusiast's. Carry out only obviously you wouldn't want to trust your local pizza delivery as most would still grade them.

I can't wait for a throwback insert and call in Color Me Badd!
People will be saying I Adore MI Amor!
And if you complete the set, your lady will be saying I Wanna Sex You Up!

isn't it too early to say "implode"...or nah we're good?

But yet people buy the overpriced boxes and cases and think things will change. Only way to change is stop buying cards. They can't sell what they produce they will cut back.

Theres more suckers in sports cards than any other retail segment on the planet.

regularp · 07-01-2023, 10:51 PM

Horrifically, lazy company. They are going through the motions until their contracts run out.

Splash of Color

The correct name is National- Silver Wave or Gold Wave.
People pulled these hits out of National packs and listed them on ebay as "Splash of Color" and the name just stuck with collectors.

I agree with your rant.

Someone hasnt bought any baseball cards lately.

Wings · 07-02-2023, 09:05 AM

OP makes a compelling point. Color blast would be a great insert if it was a one and done but now it’s a dilute card that I have no interest in.

Color Blast would have been incredible if they used the later year 'blast' patterns in 2019, and left it at that. The first year designs mainly look pretty bad compared to these days.

Luckily Full Capacity wasn't called Full Color though

mfw13 · 07-02-2023, 08:24 PM

It's not just Panini....Topps is expanding the number of color parallels in most products are well? How many different color parallels were there in flagship this year, for example?

As long as enough collectors think that a #/299 parallel of Joe Scrub counts as a "hit", and are willing to pay higher box prices because of them, manufacturers will include them in products.
