Anyone else disappointed in Prestige?

So I opend about 8 packs of this stuff today so maybe this is not an accurate account, but out of the 8 packs I pulled a bunch of inserts. That is not the problem (especially when one is Peyton Manning /25) but what the problem is is the Xtra Points and the Draft Picks cards do not have foil embossing and they were refractorlike in the past. Maybe I am overrreacting, but I think this maked these cards really cheesy. I hope this is not the future for Panini products. Also I pulled a Colston Jersey that was extremely damaged.

Personally, I am never impressed with Prestige, so my opinions might be skewed a tad. Same stuff, different day. It's the first NFL product so it gets attention each year. I think it is a waste of money and that the value of the cards is grossly inflated. I don't even bother picking them up on the secondary market until many months after their release. That way, instead of paying $20 for a Justin Forsett auto, I nab one months later out of an ebay store for $2.50.

I haven't seen any in my hand yet so I am not sure. I may grab a pack or two at the local pit today.

I've been hearing numerous people saying they are getting damaged cards... Sorry for your luck.

The only good year for Prestige is 2004, IMO. All the others have been ok at best. With that said, I have not busted any from this year.

for the price you pay, this product is junk. This years isnt as bad as last years, but close.
