I don't care what the bashers say. Press Pass always had the largest on-card autos of anybody. College uni I know, but if Leaf is able to continue what Press Pass was doing with those I'm all in.

Press Pass put out amazing NASCAR sets. I can't ever recall getting a sticker auto from a single one of their NASCAR sets. Their non-sports stuff, like Parks and Rec, were awesome and had all the top stars sign on-card as well.

What this means is Leaf will just use the name and load up any Press Pass product with sticker autos and other gimmicks.

This. All on card autos, game worn jersey swatches, great in game photography, and collegiately licensed. Press Pass was awesome when they had a license. I don’t know why so many bash it. This new Leaf iteration will probably be #@#@#@#@ though.

Yep. Press Pass with a license was fantastic.

I'm assuming this will be no license and stickers.

My only John Wooden auto is from Press Pass. Its racing products were fun to open. I hope Leaf doesn't kill the brand with sticker autos.

So thats what the tweet said. Apparently Leaf blocked me on Twitter lol. I love some old school press pass autos but thats because they were on card. All Leaf does now is sticker autos(which I pointed out on Twitter so I assume thats why they blocked me).

2020 Valiant was the last Leaf product worth a darn. Most autos were on card and prices were somewhat reasonable.

Covid gave Leaf the out to go 100% sticker, and increase box prices by at least 100%

Leaf can get bent.

Wear that Twitter block like a Badge of Honor.

Make no mistake, I vomited at the thought of Leaf desecrating the Press Pass brand and legacy.

And they had incredible customer service as well.

When I first got back into the hobby I got some press pass football with veteran/HoF players on -card autos which I thought were amazing. Of course they were college but really great on-card autos of guys like Jim Kelly and old-school HoFers. I think I pulled a Billy Cannon which was fun.

do you complain about 90% of the Panini products that are stickers. Overpriced trash or you just bask leaf. For the price point no companies compare to leaf when opening product. The ceiling may not be as high but the products aren't 400-900 either.

Do you do Panini the same way? Which people at Leaf are threating you to open their products. All Leaf products sell out .

Which Panini football products have a better return per price points? When you open a Panini product the first thing to figure out how much money you are going to lose on this box or case. That is all Panini products.
