2012 Panini Gridiron Football Box Break Recap And Review


For anyone that collects football cards, there is one overriding reason to add 2012 Panini Gridiron Football to you collection, the outstanding photography.  Artistry through action is the best way to describe the images captured by Panini’s photographers.  These cards should be on display, it would be a shame to think of them being boxed and stored away. 

Gridiron Football falls under our trading cards category.  Each box contains 18 – 8 card packs.  It says on the box you get 4 Autograph or Memorabilia cards with at least 2 Autos per box.

Here are some of the cards we pulled.

2012 Panini Certified Football NFL Trading Cards Box Break Recap and Review


If I had to base my review of 2012 Panini Certified Football solely on the box I opened alone, I could distill my review down to one word – “ouch!”  Keep in mind, I did pull a John Elway game worn material swatch card #/199, but the other hits were Rookie swatch cards and one auto of a wait and see non-premiere rookie. 

But I never base my review just on the box I open.  This prevents me from giving a case hit box an automatic good review and the box that misses an automatic bad review.  I check case breaks, checklists and as much information as I can to determine what most box breaks should look like for the product I’m reviewing in addition to the best and worst case scenarios.  While 2012 Panimi Certified Football on the whole is much better than the box I broke, the redesign of the base cards from mostly mirror finish to edge to edge mirror finish and the $2 per card average price set that is base heavy with only 1 autograph per box leads me to question who these cards geared towards. 

Complete Details About The Topps Five Star Club And How To Become A Member


When I do card reviews, I often refer to different types of collectors.  Set Builders tend to collect all base and insert cards.  Hit Seekers concentrate on low numbered cards with swatches and autographs.  Prospectors tend to collect cards of unproven players with plenty of potential.

But in almost every review, I will refer to those collectors with Deeper Pockets.  These collectors range from those who are passionate about their collection and dedicate a large percentage of their resources to the hobby, all the way to those who consider buying a few cases of cards merely a drop in the bucket.

Topps has just developed an exclusive program catered toward these collectors called the Topps Five Star Club.  There are strict requirements to get into this club.  If you qualify, this is an opportunity you will not want to miss.

Collectors that apply and are chosen by Topps to receive membership into the club with receive the following benefits;

As we start to wrap up our 2012 Panini America NFL Player Of The Day Promotion, there is just a short amount of time before we hand out our grand prizes from our Main Prize Pool.

This week was a test to see who were the folks who were most closely watching our promotion.  I delayed posting the contest, leaving just a few hours to enter.  Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of entries.  As a bonus who got their guesses in, I increased the number of bonus entries for our Main Prize Pool.  More on that later.

We only had two winners this week, but one of them was our second Perfetto winner.
