Well we all buy a lottery ticket in hopes of hitting the millions. This is no different. I opened box one and I felt sick. Don't get me wrong I was happy with two Hall of Famers Gameused cards /15 & /50. The autos....eehh. They all cant be homeruns and I knew this going in. Yount number /15 is nice but why not mix the jerseys up? Add a little color it's /15!! Phenom auto is a good looking card. The Biography card (thick) was nice as it marked the asterisk* in baseball (Maris HR record). I like the other posters agree the Rookie Autographs should NOT have been encased! I feel cheated! Box 2 started out slow with a Marty Marion auto (Donruss must have millions of his autos). The Feller gameused is a fantastic looking card and /49. Singles of Jackson as well as a century Maris were nice. Thinking the Feller gameused was going to be the best of the box and a lump in my stomach I slowly slid the checklist back to reveal the encased card. I saw the Biography first and triple bat. Was not impressed. I saw Joes' picture but it did not register. I thought OK and old time player. Then I read the name Joe Jackson! I was very happy as I have wanted his bat to add to the PC since SP Legendary cuts came out a few years back. Then I flipped it over to see 09/25. Well I do love the product. I have always liked Donruss' products, jerseys, patches, as well as player selection. Prime Cuts is no different... Prime Cuts is however a BIG gamble. $155 for a Jackson bat or $155 for a Yount jersey. Big gamble, big reward. I bought my lottery ticket and feel I won a decent prize. Unfortunately too many will buy one box and be disappointed. Others will buy one and get a Jackie Robinson patch /5. Hit or miss its still a great product. Good Luck on yours.


***I would be remiss if I did not comment on the exceptional customer service, communication, and shipping of Atlanta Sports Cards. It was my first time dealing with Josh and certainly not the last! AAA+ for service!

I have no problem with the rookie autographs being encased; my problem lies in the fact that they differentiate. The Beckham, the Posey, the big names are encased. The scrubs aren't encased.

This is the first time I can remember that a company has issued autographed rookie cards and differentiated in their distribution of same, based on collectability when an equal number are produced.

VERY good point, one I overlooked. :!:

very nice stuff.

More than a decent prize, the Jackson pretty much paid for the boxes and then some and the rest are icing on the cake! I see what you mean, though, very risky.

Nice hit on the Jackson. I don't like how the prospect cards are encased. I think it takes a hit away from you. These are only rookie cards of prospects after all. These kids might not make it to the show(injury, accident, etc.). I think the encased cards should be nice hits of HOFer's. I have picked up some nice cards of this product, although. And I do like it.

I guess your right. I just checked the bay with his bats /25. Happily surprised! Nice to pull a card you always wanted.
Again still very risky....
