They have an abundance of materials laying around that got to be used up or a match with an accelerant would be an option. The hobby has gone a little crazy like the rest of the world. These are unprecedented times. You hear that music when you go outside...from the Twilight Zone...
I like them a little bit , for $50 and allegedly having an auto. I like the shiny prospects and a chance for auto. $50 has become the norm for a decent box of anything. C+ grade
Topps' MLB licensing exclusivity period is about to end and Panini isn't making a very good case for them to open it back up to other manufacturers by releasing stuff like this.
My only experience getting panini points was in a blaster with no guaranteed hits so it was a nice surprise. But yeah 250 points is basically nothing. A 5 dollar auto at best and you have to pay for shipping
I’m no math expert, but if they claim “1 auto per box on average,” and we know that some boxes don’t have autos, doesn’t that mean some boxes have to have more than 1 auto? If they are claiming that panini points are a substitute for an autograph isn’t that false advertising?
Crusade was an insert in panini chronicles maybe 2020 or 2021. A little surprised on the rookie cards of some players…thought they didn’t have the license.
For 50$ your not harsh at all especially with the odds of what’s wrong with a few cards garunteed that could get close to your $ back maybe not advertise it I know that doesn’t push sales but a lot of $ is dropped for sports cards
I actually can't find Panini anywhere around me! My Walmart, Target, or even the random shops like bookstores or GameStop.... I'm not a huge fan of them, but its kinda fun to break up the monotony. Thanks for the video Jabs, always appreciated, Sir 🙏
We went to our local hobby rip night tonight, We got Jackson Merril, Chourio, and Holliday. and we even got a Paul Skenes. such good packs. also an Ichiro, Soto and Jeter too
Not a harsh review and agree with what pricing should be. Unfortunate wiff for Panini. It's a given these companies want to profit, but make this stuff worth it! Better off with Donruss or Bowman chrome megas, or pro debut hobby! Drop the retired except autos and give us all the prospects in great inserts, c'mon!.
These would be better if they got rid of the boring base cards and no name autos and dropped the price to like 20-25.. The foil cards aren't bad looking though, Seen them on the shelf today, glad I passed.
The idea sounded good, the follow through fell flat on this product. Panini points are just downright shameful. Panini has never cared tho and why should they now that they are in danger of being defunct
Pretty plain but not the worst. Stupid panini points.. well, they did the same for rookies and stars football! Btw that's where the crusade design came from I think. I didn't mind them as inserts, but a whole set? Hmm. And def not worth $50 in my opinion. I'd give it a D
Obsidian would have been a better choice for a set release. At least those look good. Fanatics is trying to make sure they're the only game in town and it's bad for the hobby as a whole.
I'd rather you be honest, if the opinion is harsh then so be it. That's the beauty, it's your opinion. It would be disingenuous if it was any other way
Most exciting part of the product? Griffey on the cover. What pure garbage - I have asked them why they have points anymore and their response when I asked customer service is “the points are better than the auto you would have gotten in that spot”. Oh….. so worse than a 2017 Ryan Switzer rookie auto?
Not a fan of these at all. Thanks for sharing the experience with us though. Panini points need to be done away with. If they guarantee an auto it needs to be in the box I shouldn't be required to do anything extra to get what's due to me.
Spend the extra $35 and get a Pro debut hobby box.
That's a very boring set. Panini just throwing out crap to generate a few bucks.
I agree, they threw Griffey on the cover cause they knew it was ass
💩nini

Panini points is shameful.
boxes have gotten too expensive
The problem is people are still buying it
Ordered 2 topps chrome (2024) baseball directly from topps . $135 after taxes . Might have $10 in good cards in them .
Honestly Eric you should go harder on panini. They are that bad.
At $25 I would give it a B+. At $50 I give it a D-

Your Walmart connection is pretty suspicious...I wonder if Sofia's last name is Walton.

If they use the word AVERAGE that covers them
Yes I agree I stop collecting cards because the price of the boxes

I actually like the base cards a lot, different strokes for different folks!
For 50$ your not harsh at all especially with the odds of what’s wrong with a few cards garunteed that could get close to your $ back maybe not advertise it I know that doesn’t push sales but a lot of $ is dropped for sports cards
I’m a fan of Donruss/optic but I’m with you here this sucks every card looks the exact same.
I got the same Burke auto. Not a fan of the base cards. Thanks for sharing Jabs!

Picked up the last two of these at my Walmart and I pulled Cam Collier"s Black MOJO 1/1 .
After the 1st box I was like maybe then the points box mad me decide against buying
Im just getting in the baseball card business. Which box should I buy and from which company?
If panini points is on the table it should be 29.99
Panini points should be a bonus item on top of the pulls, not a replacement. Literally, nobody asked for it, NOBODY!

I like them but not at the price point
The inserts look okay
Thanks for doing this so we don’t have too. Shameful Panini. They need to close the doors already.
Crusade was always in Chronicles
Panini Points is probably better than 90% of the autos in this unlicensed product. Save em for Cosmic Packs
These would be better if they got rid of the boring base cards and no name autos and dropped the price to like 20-25.. The foil cards aren't bad looking though, Seen them on the shelf today, glad I passed.
24.99 all day and not even sure if it should be sold for that especially without the licence.
Good ole 5-10% ROI panini baseball.
Hadn’t been to hobby rip night either, pulled an orange border Holliday.
Panini points should be illegal 😅
Hey Jabs, where is Hobby Rip Night?
The idea sounded good, the follow through fell flat on this product. Panini points are just downright shameful. Panini has never cared tho and why should they now that they are in danger of being defunct
These should be $20 at the most...
Love that cam collier autograph
i bought 3 of these NO AUTO IN NOT ! BOX, totally RIPPED OFF
I’d argue none of it is worth what they’re charging currently, but anything Panini is definitely not worth it.
Topps/fanatics is heading down the same path though. Jacking up prices while not improving the quality the boxes produce.
A&G is back, yes!!
Pretty plain but not the worst. Stupid panini points.. well, they did the same for rookies and stars football! Btw that's where the crusade design came from I think. I didn't mind them as inserts, but a whole set? Hmm. And def not worth $50 in my opinion. I'd give it a D
F is a generous rating….their points and redemptions are just terrible.
Those are $20 boxes man..
Obsidian would have been a better choice for a set release. At least those look good. Fanatics is trying to make sure they're the only game in town and it's bad for the hobby as a whole.
For $50, this product is a big bowl of crapioca pudding.
It’s still Panini though.
I'd rather you be honest, if the opinion is harsh then so be it. That's the beauty, it's your opinion. It would be disingenuous if it was any other way
Not harsh at all, pretty bad imo!
Thanks for showing that. Craptastic in my opinion…
The crusade was a sort after insert back in the day this has ruined it

Not harsh. For a product that puts The Kid on the cover for it to then just be such a dud is sooo bad.
Pulled a Julien auto
And a Skienes rc
Nice! I pulled a Colt Keith auto in a box of this! Good job!
Good thing you don't rip basketball because those Topps chrome monster boxes are the worst basketball product ever 😂
This product is not a bad product that could be a start off for young collectors just starting out Great video Jabs!🎉

Man, that was bad.
It’s funny but topps football and topps baseball is just copying panini
Panini is whack
Product sucks needs to be pulled off shelves as of now not later not even worth it on clearance
Panini baseball is the worst
Honestly, these seem like hot garbage. If Panini wants any chance with baseball, they're probably going to have to go to the topps chrome route.
Desperation to sell more product on paninis part. No logos allowed on cards ? They look aweful with no logos . Buy more metals instead . Pass,,,,
Don't care for the main design....too medieval
Panini sucks
Cant stand panini!! They dont honor their redemptions, and this product is crap
these cards are fugly
Yikes…
Terrible cards. Please buy Topps instead of these...
Thank you for sharing, will not be buying any of this trash
Those are ugly cards
Why do y’all continue to buy these products? Ugly design and no names of teams.
Garbage
These are terrible!!
This stuff is garbage...spend your money on something else!!
Not impressed with these whatsoever. Actually very boring!
Garbage
Garbage
