Souvenir Stamps Cuts - Signatures (50 Cards)
Souvenir Stamps Cuts Version 2 - Signatures (10 Cards)
Souvenir Stamps Astronauts Signatures 1 - Signatures (20 Cards)

And here's the complete set checklist.....








There are 5 cards in a box unless you got a hot box, in which you'd have 6 cards in the box.

You're expected to get 2 relic cards, 2 autograph cards, and then either another relic or autograph card.



To start, we pulled this cool Dale Murphy Blast From the Past BAT card /99



Next up in the pack was this sweet Pete Rose BAT card /100



Underneath Pete was this very interesting Astronaut relic card of Gene Kranz /250



Hiding behind the Astronaut card was this awesome dual relic card of Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland /250



The next card uncovered was my favorite card of the box (since I'm a HUGE Reds fan) Barry Larkin 4 Color Patch Auto /20



If you counted correctly you would have noticed we already pulled our 5 cards from the box. But we had a HOT BOX!!!!

Our 6th hit in the box was this amazing Uncirculated 4 Color Patch Auto of Dave Winfield /25



I have to admit that this box was the most fun I've had opening a box in a long time! Panini out did themselves for sure!



Here's how I would rate this product on a scale of 1-5

Value = 4
Innovation = 5
Fun and Experience = 5
Re-buy Value = 5

I rate this product "A". It was incredibly fun to open!

NPN INFO:
There is no NPN for this product.

Wow, that looks like one heck of a product. Even has hockey in it. I like this stuff. The Sinatra/Garland dual is beautiful, and holy smokes, that Winfield patch/ auto is awesome. Panini hit a homerun with this product. 6 hits is outstanding!!

Six cards to a box.....and all were terrific!

Love the Frankie/Judy card....and the Larkin patch/autograph is SWEEEEEEET!.

Fantastic Job Panini!

...and way-to-go on the Unser Stamp (although it wasn't in this box....still.. a great card!)

Excellent review Brad. Those cards are some of the nicest cards I have seen in a long time. Congrats on the extra hit from the box. Thanks Panini for this amazing product.

Nice review Brad.

Some great looking cards there.

Just love the Patch cards but my favorite is the Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland.

I really like these cards but the lowest price I've seen for a box of these is around 165.00 bucks. That basically stops me froming buying a box. I just don't think the cards justify the price. Then again if I got a great hit out of it and if I win the lottery. I still think these cards are cool. Being a former stamp collector in my younger days I like how they combine these. Being a postal Worker we need all the help we can get!!!!! I would give this a 4.5 out of 5.

Very cool break, I do think the price is a bit steep, nice product and great looking but out of my league due to the price. I also agree that the Sinatra/Garland is my favorite, not that the others are far behind!

Pretty cool historical stuff even though I don't collect that type of card.

But, the hits were really cool. And an extra is always a good thing!

Very nice, and informative, review. Great looking cards. Also, a good variety and most are players/others I've heard of. The pulls are very nice.

well done review, and a great product. the price is a bit steep for me to buy a box, but you cant argue with the product- the astronaut relics are a neat new idea- I like how they are mixing history and sports into a high end product!
