    Here is what we pulled in our 2010-11 Contenders Box Break:


    Base Cards



    The base cards have a great basic design. Nice action shot of the player with a grayish/white background. The front of the card is also very informational listing the player position, player jersey number, the number of seasons the player has played, as well as when the team was established. We got 83 out of 100 cards from the base set with NO doubles!

    Inserts

    Season Ticket



    We pulled 2 Season Ticket inserts. The Jeff Green is numbered out of 299 and the Al Thornton is numbered out of 99. Both cards have a silver foil design and are diecuts.

    Rookie of the Year Contenders



    We pulled 2 Rookie of the Year Contenders inserts of Blake Griffin and Evan Turner. The inserts have a good and black design which comes off very well.

    One-Two Punch




    We pulled 4 One-Two Punch inserts including 3 regular inserts of LeBron James/Dwayne Wade, Amare Stoudemire/Toney Douglas, and Chris Paul/Emeka Okafor. Our one diecut insert was of Dirk Nowitzki/Jason Kidd and is numbered out of 299. These inserts feature two of the teams top players.

    Place in History



    We pulled 4 Place in History inserts including 3 regular inserts of Kobe Bryant, Shawn Marion, and Chauncey Billups. Our diecut insert was of Hersey Hawkins and is numbered out of 299. These inserts are from past drafts and feature the players from the team they were originally drafted by.

    Starting Blocks




    We pulled 5 Starting Blocks inserts including 4 regular inserts of DeMar DeRozan/Ed Davis, Danilo Gallinari/Toney Douglas, Jeremy Evans/Gordon Hayward, and Brook Lopez/Damion James. Our diecut insert was of Eric Gordon/Blake Griffin and is numbered out of 49. These cards feature two players on a team that are considered to be the players the team will build around.

    Autographs Patches




    We pulled 4 Autograph Patches of Jeremy Evans, Terrico White, James Anderson, and Gordon Hayward. These cards are not numbered and the logo patches are manufactured. The autographs are on card signatures.

    Final Thoughts

    Panini did a great job with the base set and made it easy to build wth only 100 cards. The base cards are great to get signed in person or for TTM autograph requests. The various inserts were also done very well with some great innovative designs. I like the Place in History inserts as it shows players on teams that originally drafted them. Seeing Kobe Bryant with the Charlotte Hornet team name on the card is a nice touch. When it comes to the autographs, I could have done without the manufactured patches. The use of on card autographs is a good selling point that most collectors would agree with. Contenders has always been a set that was loved for the value of the autographs and this product is a step in the right direction.

    Good review Dan. The Starting Blocks inserts look nice. I do like the manufactured patches on the cards, it gives a nicer look to the card.

              the site's cards are not available for trade, but most of them show up in contests run by the staff.

              I agree with many, Im not a huge fan of the patch/autos, but the design of the inserts is pretty darn good.

              Nice review Dan!

                I have hardly seen any good pulls from these. That box would've been a dream for me with both Jazz Autos and a Spur Auto. I can't wait for the contests to win some of them.

                  Not a fan of the patches, but the inserts are very nice.

                    I kind of like those logo autos. A nice GU patch auto would be nicer, but cool to see your teams logo on the card like that. A little something different.

                          Nice review Dan, The only thing I'm not impressed with is the manufactured patches, piece of a jersey with the auto would hold more value.
