2012 Panini Cooperstown Baseball Update

No redemptions! 2012 Panini Cooperstown will not have any redemptions!
Cooperstown Signatures cards are serial #'d and signed on-card (outside of eight players), unless noted below. The eight players in this subset that are sticker autos are highlighted.

The addition of 100 Vin Scully autographs is significant. This is, to Panini's knowledge, Scully's only certified autograph card to date.

There are also nine Famous Moments Signatures cards featuring photographs of memorabilia used during significant moments in baseball, and professionally photographed to give collectors an up-close view of the items. Each item pictured is housed at the Baseball Hall of Fame. These sticker-autograph cards feature the signatures of some Hall of Famers, some all-time legends and some players who rose to the occasion on a single day or during a period of time.

Interesting that they use the team names in their updates when they don't have a license to utilize the team name. Bad, bad Panini.

I will buy any an all Dickey.

Oops, I can read

That just sounds wrong!! LOL

Oh, it's wrong, alright. *super exaggerated wink*


Seriously, Bill Dickey gets little love, but he's a Louisiana guy. I collect him.

Cooperstown is going to be great. Panini hit a home run with that auto checklist. No redemptions. What will the Panini haters now find to rip the product.

Frisch, Dean, and Whitey!

Really love the checklist and subsets, just wish I liked the design of the cards.
