How do you feel about Panini Prestige?

[masonphillip]

Now that cards are popping up on ebay, what are your thoughts?

I posted one thing that I am continually seeing that I really don't like on my blog

and it has to do with stickers...

I think they should have chose another brand to jump out of the gates with.

Collecting a ton of football I know Prestige is pretty low-end and not as aesthetically pleasing as other Donruss/Panini brands.....it's really just a product to pick up some of the first rc's.
So I guess my point it, there may be basketball fans who aren't familiar with the football brands and see this as a poor first effort from Panini.....when in truth it's pretty much what should have been expected.

And I agree on the sticker thing.....though I've thought that about quite a few Donruss products. The only thing that's worse is when it looks like that and the player signs the card in blue pen (yup, not marker, just a regular old pen)...which Philip Merling did last year ::facepalm::

I'll be opening 5 boxes tomorrow.

I think Prestige is a good product to start with for Panini. It seems to have a little more juice than the fb Prestige normally does. I think it's smart of them to start with a mid-level product, rather than something like Absolute or the lower-end Panini Base set.

I've been picking up Meeks cards like crazy!

Those autographs don't look autographed.

I've been looking to pick up a couple just to have...can't believe how much he is selling for at the moment.

Read my previous blog about early hype right when cards come out, wait and save yourself!

Oh, I'm aware of the "first-ones-on-Ebay" prices I'm paying, but a couple of them are #/25, and, well, I'm just impatient.
