Great looking cards! May have to pick up one of those edgar autos, possibly a trout. Box breakout looked good until I read RC this RC that.. Anything that relies that heavy on RC/prospects doesn't appeal to me.

I've been buying oddball GU items for a while, now, and I feel like it's an expanding area of collecting. It makes it hard on me, but it's strange that I only know of one other person here that buys these types of GU.
These products are clearly inferior, why aren't they cheaper?
(One of) My problem with this is that they are $350, with no chance at guys that Topps has in their stable. Back in the day a bigwig at a major manufacturer told me that licensing fees were a major expense %wise in producing cards. So why are all these unlicensed cards priced like licensed cards? Panini & BG must say to themselves, "Heck, these folks are used to paying big bucks for products - let's just parley the licensing costs we're saving into pure profit!"

Just got the checklist if anyone would like a copy
I hear you, and I hope it is AWESOME. But the only awesome Panini baseball product in years was NT, and that will be tough to ever match again.
Where did that pic come from?
Randy Johnson?
I agree on the black background silver gold pen autos, those things POP. The black almost looks like it's construction paper so they ink sets in nicely as opposed to glossy cardstock. And it's hard to tell from a still, but the cards themselves look like thick stock acetate fronts. If you've seen the NT Hockey RPA's with the acetate fronts, you know how nice those look in person.
