HERE IS WHAT WE PULLED:

-BASE-

Each pack yields two base cards serial numbered to 499 with a maroon foil stamping featuring the Plates & Patches logo with the team’s logo in the middle. We pulled: Mark Sanchez and Chris Cooley.

-PARALLEL-

Each pack will have one Infinity parallel version either silver /100, gold /50 or platinum /10.
We pulled a Wes Welker Silver /100.

-INSERT-

Each pack also contains one of the following inserts #’d to 299: Rookie Blitz, City Limits, and Honors. The inserts are nice with the gold foil stamping. We pulled a Matt Schuab Honors /299.

-MEMORABILIA-

We pulled a Rolando McClain Rookie Blitz Jersey /299.

-ROOKIE AUTOGRAPHS-

There are 100 possible Rookie autographs with serial numbering anywhere from 99 to 949. We pulled a Victor Cruz /249 and a redemption for Taylor Mays /649.

-ROOKIE PATCH AUTO-

Each box has one uncirculated card loaded into a Ultra Pro case sealed with a Panini Sticker. Ours happened to be the base rookie patch autograph of Ryan Mathews. This was definitely the big hit of the box and a very nice 4 color patch.

-FINAL THOUGHTS-
This is a fairly high-dollar product with an average price of around $140 per pack. While I am usually not a fan of breaking products that cost over $100 with only a few cards, having the opportunity to break this product has changed my mind. These packs will usually yield some nice hits. My friend actually pulled the Brett Favre NFL Shield 1 of 1 auto from a pack. The thing that I really like about this product is the big hit of the pack is generally in the uncirculated ultra pro case. This gives the card added protection from the pack and makes for a good look with the Panini sticker holding it together. Even though it was only a few cards the suspense of what I would get made it a fun product to open. Panini has created a new product that I hope they will continue to produce in the years to come. The only downside of this was pulling a redemption card for the Taylor Mays auto. As of lately, Panini has had a lot of redemptions in their product. Other than that, I really like this product.

-RATINGS-
Value 5
Fun & Experience 5
Innovation 5
Re-Buy Value 5

Overall I would give this Panini Product an A-. The only thing stopping it from getting an A was the redemption.

I would like to thank Card Collectors World and Panini for giving me the opportunity to review this product!

I really love this product. I've watched dozens of videos from The Hobby Box opening this product, and each box is similiar to this with the generous amounts of hits in each one. I'm a little confused with the name though, as you would think this product would contain a significant amount of printing plates, along with lots of patches, but I've yet to see a plate pulled in all I've witnessed. Not tthrilled with the redemption card, but to be fair, I will say this for every product, from every card company that uses them. The multi-colored Mathews patch/auto is a very sweet looking card. Thanks for the review, and thanks very much to Panini for allowing us the opportunity to bust, and review their products.

Great review Leland. Congrats on the very nice looking hit card of the box.

[cornwellfamily]

Sweet looking Auto Patch. Cards look nice. I think Panini is doing a fine job. The one pack thing though. I like going through 24 packs and pulling out my hits, it makes it feel like the money was wiser spent. I still would give this a 4.

[ejiminee]

I agree that the name is a bit misleading. I expected this product to be all (or nearly all) hits. Something like Premier or National Treasures.

These are really sharp looking cards, though. And the Matthews Patch Auto, everyone has clearly stated how nice it is.

[Hoffmoen]

Very nice review, I've watched some box breaks on this product and seen some pretty good pulls. Card design is fantastic.

[B.I.G.Poppa]

Nice review. The product is definitely hit-heavy, especially with one uncirculated patch auto per box. I don't get where the plates come into play though. Still nice product.

[ctkenjr]

You did have a pretty nice box, what is the Matthews numbered too? I bought one box of this and my "big" hit was a redemption - and I have been told it is a "common" /699 (not something I would consider that big of a hit).

I also agree that the name does not make sense.

I like the concept, not sure if I am sold on the style of all the cards yet.

[schwood]

Excellent review. Very nice cards too. That Mathews patch is pretty sick, but I personally like the Welker.

[Mister_Ed]

good review, and I love the mathews- but am I the only one getting tired of redemptions in high end products? if you dont have the card, dont advertise it

Sick Matthews....product looks great!

[JesRey]

Sick Mathews Patch Auto!

I do believe it's a little too expensive of a product for what you can pull.

[Baseball Nut]

Love this set.

[moosejaw00]

Beautiful patch on the Ryan Matthews!
