Crown Royale

I just came saw some singles on ebay. On card autos and at least the set stands out from the other Panini releases.

The being different part is really the primary reason I decided to pre-order a box.
Hopefully I'll get lucky and hit a hot box.

only bad thing is no big name autographs (kobe,lebron,jordan,durant and so on) and as much as i like the design, so far i have yet to see someone have a good break

My box was horrid


Tony Parker auto

Bosh jersey
Magette jersey

How many base cards come in a box? I've been kicking around the idea of building the set with the rookie autos.

The fact that is a horrid break is exactly why this will be only the second basketball box I purchased this year.
You'd think hitting an all-star vet auto. A star gu'd and a couple other hits would be a decent enough box......but with the current basketball market it's probably like $10-15 worth of cards.

And not that i look to/or think I'll make money on breaks.....but you do expect some value. When the top rookies sell for only like half the box price and an average/slightly above break only nets like 20% back there would seem to be a problem. And now after typing that I'm regretting even buying a box. :lol: Oh well....maybe I'll get lucky, and like I said earlier I bought it more or less because I liked the design.

Singles are definitely the way to go in the basketball world. One interesting thing about this set is that the only 1/1's are Aaron Brooks cards.

Bought 1 pack and hit a Zo #/99 auto.

 

[rymflaherty]

Wait....What???? If you have any more info on that 1/1 Aaron Brooks comment it would be greatly appreciated.
If that's true.....seems odd to say the least and without any explanation - I can't even wrap my mind around that. :lol:

Nice hit getting the Zo
I do like that Panini has seemed to mix it up with the auto's - I know a lot are the same guys that have been used in multiple releases, but there seems to be a nice mix of rookies, vets and retired guys.

Best looking Panini product thus far. I've noticed that the B. Griffin's are selling well. Also, I believe Pippen has an auto in this product as well.

In the All-Star set he has the insert, materials, and materials prime versions. The materials is #/25 compared to the /99-/599 like the rest of the materials set. In the prime set he is 1/1 while the rest are /5-/25.

Same thing happens in the nothing but net set with the materials and prime versions.

EDIT: Those numbers are all according to the beckett checklist, so it may or may not be true.

I agree.

Pippen has an auto #/99 in the set.

just like in those 05 baseball sweet spot jumbo patches. only 1/1 in the set is bob gibson. makes it so only one person can have the complete set

lol you probably outbid me...but I plan on getting at least 5 or 6 of these. I think it's his only card in the product.

That's cool. Would love to get that card.
Looks like my box may have been delivered today, but got home too late to get it....should have a break up this weekend. Really hoping that first pack I open has two hits.

There are a few Majestic Signature cards that are worth the price of admission, and hitting Curry/Evans/Griffin/Jennings for one of the rookie hits would also help.
