Panini got the milb license and started rolling out EEE MiLB edition?

I'm an EEE fan and wouldnt mind such a product.

The thing that just hit me is this. How can it be Elite Extra Edition(which is supposed to be an update set) for 07 and 08, yet "Donruss Elite" was never released. Shouldnt it just be Donruss Elite. Im probably just being fickle, but anyone else agree??


BTW: I think that would be the cats nuts if pannini did that

Do two series, one Elite one Elite Extra. One pre-draft and one post-draft set. I'd be down.

Yeah, sure, just "pure speculation".

Donruss makes nice cards; everyone likes 04, 07, and 08 EEE. Don't think anyone's going to complain.

I think most people associate Donruss Elite with current players the same way they do with Bowman Chrome. But Extra Edition with draft picks as they do with Bowman Draft.

I think it would devalue the EEE cards as a whole and it would be a little more expensive, a little more high-end version of what Tristar is putting out already.

If you slapped the MiLB logo on upcoming EEE cards, it officially is a minor league card product as opposed to a card product that maybe considered a haven for 'first year cards' of particular drafted players.

Disagree. Having the manufacturer Topps/Bowman, Donruss, or UD adds major credibility to the product.

you assume that label would matter


Times are changing. I think MiLB cards can be quite sucessful, if a company like Donruss does it.

Since EEE cards have never had decent eye appeal as a whole the three years Donruss made them, it would be interesting to see how Panini would change the design to make the cards look good.

The MILB deserves a really good HUGE set, along the lines of how Topps Total represented the MLB. Drop the stickers, lower the number of auto'd cards, and stick to the base set.

Here's something to like about MILB cards.

That's probably the same photo they would use in a Bowman product. I have to admit I like cards with MLB logo's on them. I will still buy my guy's if the only option is a card without MLB logo's but from a collecting standpoint I like them better.

I disagree. I love the look of the past few years of EEE.

I would like to see better card stock used, but the foil look is a win imho.

I couldnt agree more. Ive given this idea to Razor in product discussion, only to be shot down. Someone should step up and make it.

 

[cgilmo]

the die cuts are pretty too

 

[notjomommasclint]

i would love it if panini got the milb license... can you imagine how kick ass a prime cuts like card from some of those cool patches would look? or a quad from afl would sell at the peak of a players hype! ee is growing on me now because of the shininess and die cutosity... not sure how many different sets they would let them run but i think that ee, diamond kings, prime cuts, and champions would have the potential to be fantastic sellers with major eye appeal! hell even threads with some of the greats in their minor league uniforms would be sweet!

 

[lordsepic]

I think it would be great. I think they are a solid company

and I agree the EEE cards have looked awesome

 

[RL24]

I would rather see them get an MLB license, but then, I'm just a collector and not a prospector.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

as a newly seriously devoted player collector....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

lol

I think Panini should have to prove themselves before they get everything given to them. Releasing a long standing series from Donruss doesn't count.
