I know how to make some fcb'ers throw up

By having panini announce "Flawless" baseball.

What is panini "flawless" you ponder?

A brand new lottery tick....err, product for basketball fans everywhere who would rather open a pack instead of paying for rent.

The kicker is that "flawless" gives you seven autos, two jumbo gu and a diamond encrusted card wrapped nicely in a box which costs ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS!!!!!!

Yes siree Bob, just what every hobby needs, alienate the absolute majority of collectors and put out a completely unnecessary product.

Can't wait till this comes to baseball.

I dont see any issues with them putting out a product geared towards a certain audience. The only thing i dont like is that they look too much like national treasures.

Agree on both counts, if a segment exists why not provide?

What a joke.. Why not buy the actual game used piece of the semi star or star your most likely to get

I thought you were threatening to get another Superfractor signed, since that made most guys wretch.

No issue with them going after those who can drop $$, it does no harm to low budget collectors. My issues, 1- as stated look like NT and some other sets, 2- October release of 12/13 product and 3- I don't know if the secondary market will make the $1250 worth it. I'm curious as to how well it sells, obviously it's in short supply, but is it a smart buy even by risk takers ?

Well, at least they have logos on them. :lol:

byronscott4ever · Sep 5, 2013

Panini wouldn't do this in baseball without logos at this price but they will if they get logos I'm guessing

BBCgalaxee · Sep 5, 2013

Would be a blood bath if this came to baseball, logo or not.

Five star wasn't worth $500 even if they weren't chipped. And this would be 2.5x that.

I just threw up.. But I'm also anorexic.

Every morning a blind hermit hikes to the bar or a Guatemalan waterfall to make the cardboard for panini pristine... at least add something like that to make it seem like a better deal

This will be huge. High end breakers in the states and Asia will be all over this. Looks like Immaculate will not be the late product to get this year.

They won't have any problem selling this. Especially with Lillard now available as an auto. Some people spend more on a case or two with the same number of hits(Leaf Best of/Retro).

Not at that price point!

goldenegg1 · Sep 6, 2013

And they continue to milk the 2 rookie class even further. What a joke! This should have to be a 2013-14 product. The funny thing is they keep putting Anthony Davis on a Pelicans card and mark it RC. His whole rookie year he was a Hornet.

Guess this is for the 1%'ers out there. Too bad 95% of them will get a giant kick in the junk, but if you can afford $1250 for a pack, you probably don't care. But my question is.....why ONLY $1250 for a pack, why not $2,000, or even better, why not $5,000. Here's an idea, how about a product called "First Born"......Go big or go home.

rico08 · Sep 9, 2013

Someone said it already: with Lillard autographs available this product will sell. Don't see this crossing over to baseball, however.

Sold out from what Panini said...will be fun to watch others break
