I'm staying away from Prime Cuts cuz I haven't seen one without soft corners

I really don't think it matters.

The one's in the packs have soft corners, I don't think the ones that are encased though do.

seems like elite is the way to go, that's what I figured. It's the prospect based product so that's what I was expecting. Thanks guys.

Well the porcello's in elite are /1299 not /1499 and lets face it Elite is a traditional prospect product. Besides All of porcello's auto's in prime cuts are encased and the majority have fuzzy corners.

I say Elite all the way but I'll let my Sig Speak for itself :shock:

The ones in the case are prone to soft corners as well. The damage was done before they were encased.

Yeah, I definitely think elite is the way to go.

I think that regardless of the lower serial numbering, Elite will be the better of the choice's. This goes for any of the prospects whom share the above mentioned products, as I really think the baseball card community as a whole knows EEE to be an established brand for prospects (we've seen what they are capable of & we are creature's of habit/routine). Besides, I think the Prime Cuts have somewhat of a "insert" feel to them (plus the fact that in that same product you can pull several other version's of the prospect- Contenders Preview & the other that I'm pulling a blank on right now). I'm not saying the Prime Cuts are bad investments because I would argue differently (they have great potential to make you a "*** O' Green" just as well...but not "just as well")!

The only reason I like the Prime Cuts is because you're getting a game-used jersey with the auto. And if Contenders is going to be as limited as I think then that will be a goodie as well.

Well, there are two prime cuts versions...auto and auto jersey both numbered to 249...if I went the Prime Cuts route, I would go with the Leaf Limited Phenoms auto
