Leaf/Rize flotsam and jetsam looks better than this crap.

Panini America Offers Detailed First Look at 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball


August 30, 2013


by Tracy Hackler and Bob Loblaw




2013-prizm-perennial-draft-picks-baseball-main.jpg


Panini America is combining two of the most popular and litigated aspects in all of baseball-card collecting — the company’s appealing Prizm printing technology and hot draft picks — for the debut release of 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball, which will deliver the industry’s first on-card autographs of key players from the 2013 draft, a rainbow array of Prizm parallels and the first Panini America cards of Cuban slugger Jose Abreu -- if it is released before Leaf and Bowman products.


Arriving in late October, unless delayed and highlighted by the first hard-signed cards of 2013 No. 1 overall pick Mark Appel (except for his Topps USA on card auto) and No. 2 overall pick Kris Bryant, 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball will feature a 100-card base set and key inserts such as Prospect Signatures (100 cards), 2013 Draft Class (50 cards) and First Overall Picks (10 cards) — all of which will be paralleled by Red, Blue, Gold and 1/1 Black Prizms.

The product also will include on-card signatures of top minor leaguers such as Byron Buxton, Maikel Franco and Mike Foltynewicz who already have on card autos in other, better products.
Each 20-pack hobby box of 2013 Prizm Perennial Draft Picks Baseball will deliver four autographs, six Prizm parallels and three additional insert cards. We’ll have more information on the product right here on The Knight’s Lance in the coming weeks. But for now, here’s your first extended look . . .

I think leaf prizm looks great


And I also think there will be some unique inserts in this product that are chaseable.

But yes, that draft picks design is not appealing at all.

Sorry Andrew - I figured if there was a post about it, it would be on the front page. It wasn't. I apologize.

Someone buys this stuff. I just don't know what their motivation is, as it's not cheap. I just hope Panini doesn't Panini up Elite Extra Edition.


This actually looks worse than a Leaf/Rize product.

Seriously, people buy this (and Rize). I don't understand their motivation. Most prospect products, and those who buy prospects are driving primarily, financially. I know I am - but I stick with my favorite team prospects, so there's some level of fun involved, in that I can watch and track these guys and root for their success, then see them when they're in the GCL or Clearwater or in Spring Training as I live close to the stadium.

But, ultimately, I would like to make money from my investments. It's got to be difficult to make money buying these products. Panini doesn't exactly have a history of people buying their product the way Topps or UD does.

Why do people buy this crap?!

That design is really bad, straight out of "just minors" playbook.

Assuming this will be $5 or $6 Srp, I'll carry it as the chrome look, parallels, multiple new autos will sell it.

I know a guy who keeps Rize etc. in business. He and his wife return from their annual ST trip with a tan and a binder full of autos...he tries to get full sets signed IP.

To me all this unlicensed stuff could be paper better used on product with MLB logos. It is difficult to be part of a hobby where the essential top feeders don't really understand collectors (Topps etc. & MLB). Baseball needs licensing deals with any card company that approaches them and realize that collectors don't care about "exclusive."

Rize "signed a licensing deal with Leaf", or Rize is a subsidiary of Leaf, whichever you want to believe, but the higher priced Rize cards are autoed. They're not staying in business with the unsigned cardbage. There is no doubt a marketplace for unsigned Just/Rize/Topps Pro Debut base stuff, but that's incredibly cheap.

Why doesn't someone bring Fleer Excel back ... or even Classic Minors. And then do team sets again. This is what I wonder all the time.

I agree it is unappealing but the draft pick autos WILL sell this product.

Looks so cheesy. Looks more like a kids product by the design, but selling draft picks that are years away to kids probably isn't the goal. A waste of a product

Didn't look too good. Though upon hitting the link I also see a panini innovation basketball insert that looks awfully close to the stained glass gallery of heroes that topps did. Are we really running out of ideas that fast that companies aren't just reissuing classic inserts of their own brand licensing but also mimicking other brands too? I loved what brian did with Leaf Valiant but I hope it's not going to happen with all inserts and all manufactures.

If the golds are /10 I can see this taking over Elite. Do prospectors really care about the design? There will be a nice handful of autos that will be in demand upon release. Not to mention the Abreu parallels.

One thing that might hurt this later is if there's chrome/prizms also included in Elite. Die-cut color prizms would be sweet.
