So what do you think, is this a product that you're interested in checking out? At a price of $65.95 per box, this is certainly a product that has me intrigued. The Panini website states there will be one auto'd and two memorabilia cards per box, but some on-line dealers are claiming five memorabilia and/or autographed cards per box on average. Panini has also stated that there are over 1,000 on-card auto's throughout the entire product including 111 Kobe Bryant on-card auto's. 1,000 may seem like a large number, but that's more like case hit numbers. Even still, 2010 Basketball Update seems like a fun product at a reasonable price point. Is it a 10? No, but it is a nice wrap-up to the 2010 basketball product line. What are your thoughts on Panini's 2010 Panini Update released today?
