Upcoming Cardsmiths Breaks!

2011 Gold Standard Football!

We had a lot of fun breaking the last two 5-box cases of 2011 Panini Gold Standard the last two weeks.  I got another 5-box case and put it on eBay by team.  The checklist on this stuff is amazing.  Lots of good rookies in 2011 including Cam Newton, A.J. Green, Julio Jones, Andy Dalton, DeMarco Murray, and Colin Kaepernick!

We will break this on Saturday night!

Here's a link to the auctions:

Fan Box Breaks: 2011 Gold Standard Football

Another Fan Box Break and another one by Jammin JD Cards. This time a high end product in Gold Standard Football. Here is how he did:

Here is what Jammin JDcards had to say about his break:

"One of my favorite products from 2011. Panini hit a home run with this product and I hope they do the same this year. The cards are shiny, exciting, great quality, feel expensive and just plain awesome. This box had 12 cards, 5 hits, 2 rookies, 2 inserts, 1 Legend and 2 base cards. Everything in this set in serial numbered which is awesome. The hits are very nice, always fun to see legends like Jim Kelly, base rookie autos are stickers but the Patch Auto is on card (AWESOME). Every time I break this stuff I am satisfied, 9.25/10 for design, 9.25/10 for quality, 9.75/10 for value."

What are your thoughts on his break? Have you broken this before?

Preview: Panini Gold Standard Basketball 12-13

Panini released images of Gold Standard Basketball and I can say once again I am impressed by another Panini NBA release.

This product is due out in April and from the gallery (and more info) on the Knights Lance: http://paniniamerica.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/panini-america-provides-detailed-first-look-at-2012-13-gold-standard-basketball/

It appears this years version will surpass all others.

 

A break should deliver four autographs, one memorabilia card and one metal card in every 10-card box

  

There is also a 305-card base set featuring 80 autographed memorabilia RCs, five base inserts, three memorabilia inserts and four autograph inserts. Makes quite a thing to chase after.

There is also 25 base-set SPs featuring selected stars wearing the jerseys of every team they have ever played for.

What are your thoughts on this NBA product?
