Picked up a couple of boxes of Immaculate. They came a couple of days ago but with Rosh Hashana and Shabbat they sat around until tonight.
My general thoughts:
The presentation and design of the cards is fantastic. The boxes look really nice, as do the cards. They definitely have a very high-end feel. That said, while I was pretty happy with my box while opening, pulling a nice Mo auto and a Helton Patch, seeing the prices on eBay even pulling a Mo auto I doubt I'd cover 50% of the cost price if I sold everything (even buying in early before prices jumped) which is a little disappointing. The really high-end stuff should do well, but it looks like most of the cards are not worth much.
Here's what I pulled (combined the 2 boxes)
Base
Matt Kemp 1/99
Gerrit Cole 21/99
Alex Wood Autograph 04/99 (I think it's a base card)
Matt Shoemaker Jersey/Autograph 04/49 (again, think it's a base card. Also has a sticker auto)
Immaculate Swatches
Manny Machado 24/49
Josh Hamilton 13/99
Max Scherzer 15/99
Joey Votto 30/99
Kris Johnson Patch 32/99
Immaculate Pitchers (large swatch)
Madison Bumgarner 34/49
Clubhouse Signatures (funny name for a set considering what this has historically meant)
Evan Gattis 57/99
Panini Heroes
Todd Helton Patch 1/10
Mariano Rivera Auto 16/25
