There are as many different products released each year as there are many different and varied collectors out there. Some products look absolutely fantastic and makes collectors drool while viewing it online. Then again, just the fact that a online photo will not do justice in a fair way, which collectors will base there purchase on!
I've learned to wait on giving my yes or no on products until I've actually have them in hand. In 2012, I saw for the first time a fanciful and a very loudly colored blaster box at Walmart. Of course Mrs. Toshi and I purchased it. Once at home we were not very impressed with the 2012 Panini Crown Royale we purchased. Interestingly, Mrs. Toshi having the luck of a four leaf clover, pulled a RGIII two color jersey from the Crown Royale blaster box.
Sometime later while visiting "Collectors Palace" we both noticed that a hobby version was available. Trying out a Crown Royale hobby pack was our next venture into the unknown. Normally, we enjoy at best the basic base set and jump for joy at our hits. In this case, everything went into a one eighty spiral. We were in love with the base set, and could care less if we had a hit or not. I must admit, that each card was done with taste. So when Mrs. Toshi asked; "Why do we have a white card with writing on it", I immediately knew, we have our very first redemption. A monumental first for us! Over the next several months, we overlooked our redemption and enjoyed seeing the various cards that were released. Myself being absolutely curios, I checked on how our redemption would look. I was not impressed at all, and I knew that before I could pass judgement I must be patient and actually see this card up front.
We received our 2012 Panini Crown Royale Rookie Silhoutte Robert Turbin #277 (078/349) today. I will say this; "I want to purchase a Crown Royale hobby box". This card is spectacular!
