Prizm

[MGiuseffi]

Hey all. I opened some Prizm this mornng. A few decent hits, but something seemed off to me. Look at this scan and let me know if you can guess what it is:

 

[Bob Loblaw]

The fact that they're ugly cards?
The fact that there's no MLB Logo (This was obviously going to be the case).
The fact that there are "RCs" that aren't RCs?
The fact that this is a 2012 product being issued over 100 days into 2013?

 

[MGiuseffi]

Just realized they are marketing this stuff as a 2012 release, thus the RC of Darvish, Harper, etc... What a joke! Next week, they may just come out with 1951 Prizm with a Mantle RC...

 

[morgoth]

FUGLY?

This may be the first big fail of 2013, or 2012 or whatever year Panini wants it to be.
Hell it is so late in 2013, I'm expecting Prestige 2014 to come out next week.

Is that colored etching I see on the baseball stitches?

 

[VandyDan]

eesh, that is some abrasively shiny product.

.

No. That's just colored chrome. The etching is normal refractorish color.

 

[MGiuseffi]

Personally, I don't think a card can be too shiny. Just my opinion. I like my shinys... The Seaver Gold #/10 I pulled is a real stunner. So, there are some nice things about this release. One of my pet peeves is collation. Let's just say, Panini has yet to master the "art of collation"...Sigh

Overall, I give the product a C+. With Panini not having to pay MLB, I was hoping this product would have more money put into content. Sadly, I was mistaken.

Dude, I actually think those look really cool. Not having an MLB license sucks because of the lack of logos but the cards aren't bad looking.

so many doggie downers on here. if you dont like the product dont buy it.

 

[HPC]

I don't think the cards are ugly but the fact that it's called a 2012 release is disgusting

 

[moxacaine]

I like them, theyre nice but being 2012 is stupid. Just like Topps and them releasing 2012 Turkey Red Football.

Nothing they can do about it.

Both Elite Extra and National Treasures don't have logos and NT was a 2012 release that came out in 2013. But why is everyone ok with those?

NT was done very well with cut off hats.

Elite and no logos has been around for years.

Yeah, how dare us discuss a product on a sports card message board!

 

[rsmath]

are the base cards also chrome-like or just paper-based?

I keep seeing Panini talk about the chrome cards from this product but it's not apparent to me if the chrome cards are the norm or if they are the few premium cards found in each box.
