First look at 2010-11 Leaf/Panini certified.

I'm glad Panini is getting into hockey. I wish ITG would get UDs license, but I can wait until next year when UD is gone.

 

[gonzagacubs]

those look solid!

Im really loving that Martin Brodeur jersey tag.

My favorite is the dual Crosby/LeCavailier game-used skirt card.

But seriously, the Gordie Howe is my favorite...and I'm hoping a Tiger Williams autograph is somewhere on Panini's radar with this license.

first off those look freaky amazing and I can't wait to see some Fleury's.

second not sure if that Gordie Howe auto or any other Howe auto will/can actually be produced. Upper Deck made this statement on their Twitter feed today...

Our multi-year exclusive spokesman deal with Gordie Howe remains in tact. UD remains the only place you can find a signature of Mr. Hockey.

so we might already have our first controversy between Panini and UD in hockey :evil:

I see the thread and I'm thinking, "Do I really want to see this?"

But they actually look pretty good.

Looks nice. What killed Panini basketball is the UD exclusives. If we want fair market, than there should be no exclusive players between UD and Panini. As for the comment on ITG needs a license instead of UD, forget that. I heard somewhere UD's license for hockey was extended 10 years. I personally dislike ITG, so the announcement of Panini on board is great as long as they can get same players as UD over the long run, otherwise, Panini cannot compete. If Panini can secure a top notch rookie, that would be a start...

Hell yeah!!! Can't wait.

I've always disliked Certified football, but this stuff actually looks pretty dang good. We'll have to see how it turns out.

 

[wideright]
