Pretty much they just revamped last years. With the lockout no sense getting crazy.

It is a great box for the guys who can not venture high end. That being said it is the 1st with NFL team names etc. That in itself is always nice. I feel they might have needed to venture out a bit more.

As far as cardboard stock probably will be the same but I do not see the product out selling or competing with Leaf Metal and Draft.

I'll be trying to get as many Vick cards as I can, defintly excited about that..Panini did a solid job with the opening product, just kinda a bummer they can't use the college logo's and such

I agree Dan Thanks for the input

I agree with Dan about the College Licensing. Due to college logos not allowed to be shown and therefore full-body shots not being allowed, the rookie cards kinda seem awkward looking in comparison to past years. maybe that can be combatted by using combine pics or something. But Prestige is always a solid value product, and the NFL Draft insert/auto cards are always appealing.

gotta say the live versions looking like garbage

alos found out today elite will not be using college or pro unis. They will be using combine photos in under armor tanks like one they used last year

[wheeler281]

so picture the whole rookie set like that booooo.

leaf metal has just pumbled them

Absolute junk, just like virtually every other college pictured product that can't show actual teams on the jerseys/helmets.

[wheeler281]

leaf can't show logos but something about them that makes guys want them I love them myself. Some of the best looking cards in person I have ever seen.. and they sell fantastically



on topic though prestige not looking as good live and future elite in under armour is

"Didn’t get Cam in time for Prestige, but his autos will be in the rest of our products going forward."

To make matters worse this is out for all too see



Those are prestige cards right they could have had him at least sign a few(like 50 whats that take 5 minutes) and make them chase cards.. something is better then nothing
