[Cardboard Dawg]

Best WWE release last year imo, potentially one of the best ever. Looking forward to this year

[tomahawk]

Hard to get too excited as I'm expecting both the same drop in quality and egregious raise in price that characterized Impeccable this year. And I doubt they'll be able to create a chase as alluring as the Bloodline booklet from the last set; but maybe we'll be surprised.

I for one am super excited to get some sick redemptions that will never be fulfilled!

Yep, after pulling Randy Orton and Goldberg redemptions that I'll never get I'll just stick to singles this year

I called panini the other day about my Orton redemptions and the dude sighed heavily and told me Randy isn't a good signer for them so now I know I ain't seeing those

Boxes carry an increased suggested retail price of $400

Suggested retail for Impeccable was $500 so barring similar price drop this will prob open $800-up.

Immaculate was my favourite set last year, but I'll have to see if pricing doesn't drop, the preview images are already making me a fan though. The booklets are cool and the Austin and Undertaker I'd love to have and I have an Austin from last year. I agree it's unlikely they'll have something like the Bloodline booklet though, but some duals like Cody/Roman etc will be pretty big.

I wish they were just give me replacements already then. Sick of waiting

[ssilva872]

Idk why the link isn't working for me..

But I looked it up elsewhere and it looks nice.

I hope most of my people get at least one new auto/relic in this set.

[ThatGuyPal]

This is scheduled for next Friday which is very doubtful unless they eliminated FOTL this year, but I wonder if any FOTL info will come next week.

[tomahawk]

Looks like this has been bumped to June 19th.

[JustinVerlander07]

FOTL announced for tomorrow. Starting at $1100 with $500 floor.

Still no checklist!

[Kingofkings1281]

I assume they’ll be missing a lot of key signers. Really hoping for some Punk on card autos though.

[LaloSalamanca]

lol whatnot breakers are still gonna charge $20 a spot for wrestlers who probably aren't even in the product unless we get a checklist soon

[Joshi City]

My gut is they are saving autographs for any new wrestlers (Punk and Jade in particular) for the new 2024 season, which could make Prizm really hyped. Feel like they'd be advertising it pretty strong if they had autographs in it.

[ThatGuyPal]

Still looking forward to reg. hobby and some rips but not interested in FOTL when 1. No Checklist 2. I remember a majority of FOTL autos being bunk last year 3. They didn't even announce numbering so FOTL print may of gone up as it doesn't say "FOTL Exclusive #/?" just "FOTL Exclusive" 4. The difference between FOTL-Hobby price especially if it drops like Impeccable will probably mean you could just buy a good FOTL auto straight up 5. Prizm 24 being announced as mentioned with possible Punk/Jade

I'd love to see this crater out. No checklist and Prizm coming? Come on!

[tomahawk]

FOTL was pretty brutal for this product last year. Godspeed to anyone going in for a rip, particularly with no checklist (!)

[TheRock88]

Looks like it sold out at $675.

[ThatGuyPal]

Not sure how $699.95 pre-orders hold up if people let it get lower than that for a version with an extra auto, there's also not any rookies to keep prices propped up like in NBA/NFL releases unless Jade makes it somehow.

Excited to see rips though to gauge my interest in reg. hobby

[LaloSalamanca]

Checklist is on the panini product page

[ThatGuyPal]

Checklist is out on Panini.

-Punk in base no autos like Impeccable, no Jade base or autos
-Still no HHH/Orton that I'm seeing
-The jumbo shirt relics are all current/no legends again, kind of sucks as there aren't a ton of big names and a lot of watered down ones that will be $5-10 if lucky like Brooks Jensen, Valentina Feroz (who left WWE), Edris Enofe, Sanga
-The multi-signed content is what really stands out as usual, some highlights to me: Hollywood Hogan/Bischoff dual, Judgement Day Quad-Priest, Finn, Rhea, Dom, Steiner Triple- Bron, Scott, Rick, all the championship lineage triples one ex. Kane/Taker/Austin, could be wrong but I think there is a Bloodline-style booklet called "The Attitude Era" with Austin/Kane/Taker/Angle/HBK/Bret/Trish/Mankind
-The jumbo specialty memorabilia checklist is pretty weak, there's probably 4/11 that will be in real demand
-It looks like the FOTL-Exclusive auto was Premium Memorabilia Autographs, it's cool but no vets and no rookies, it's prob about a 50/50 chance based on the checklist you come close to hitting the difference in price between hobby and FOTL

Personally I think I may wait until Prizm, I did good last year and hit an Austin auto so I'm getting scared about testing my luck seeing Veer/Sanga duals lol may try the tried and true method of "buy singles" depending how these are priced and if half the multi-signed cards are live

[tomahawk]

"Footwear Spotlight Signatures" : I imagine these are the equivalent of the Sneaker Spotlights out of Noir Basketball. Those are hugely popular, big $ cards in that set, so it will be interesting to see if they take off with wrestling collectors. Looks like they're ssp at only /25, /10 and /1.

Having Bret in the "Attitude Era" booklet or whatever it is is pretty awkward...

[ThatGuyPal]

Feels like Eric Bischoff is taking the "authority figure" auto spot with Vince no longer being in products ever again and no Steph or even HHH signing. Not complaining I wasn't a Eazy-E hater and it makes for some cool duals like the Hollywood Hogan.

I've hit a Bret auto in my life and my goal is to hit a SCSA at some point. Congrats on that, I may just break down and buy one.

I've seen some people in FB groups post their hits on the FOTL, some have been good, some just ok. I haven't seen one really skunk for that price, but hoping some hit YouTube soon and a big hope the normal boxes go sub $500. I bet we're looking at $599, aren't we.
