1 box of 2011 Elite and a pack of 2010 Prime
1 box of 2011 Elite and a pack of 2010 Prime
Well, the Prime pack was a dud-a-roonski, David Reed Rookie and 4 Quarters base insert Bradford, Spiller, Suh, G. McCoy (at least it's a pc card).
The Elite box was...decent, did get 5 hits so I can't complain much about that.
Rookies..
Patrick Peterson /999
Blaine Gabbert Jag Helmet /999
Jeremy Kereley /999
Greg Little /999
Martez Wilson /999
Vincent Brown NFL Shield /999
Inserts
Lee Evans Craftsmen /999
Hines Ward Power Formula /999
Eli Manning Legends of the Fall /999
Asante Samuel Hit List /999
Quan Sturdivant Rookie Aspirations Blue /48
HITS**
Pierre Garcon Down and Distance "Patch" /50 (single color patch boo)
Chad Henne Power Formulas Jersey /299
Matt Forte Power Formulas Jersey /299
Ryan Kerrigan Rookie Status Gold Auto /24
and the "big hit"
Throwback Threads Prime Booklet #15/25
Jim Plunkett 2 clr (silver/black w/ 2 sets of stitching)
Marcus Allen 2 clr (looks like part of the number)
Will have some scans up soon, not sure if any are FT yet.
Product Review:
Pretty much what I would expect from Elite, I enjoy the die-cut inserts and even though they tend to be 1 color....I like the overall look of the Power Formulas Jersey cards.
The booklet cards are neat, but I see them getting played out really fast, I prefer stuff like this in my higher end products.
Love the look of the Legends of the Fall inserts, beautiful design, big props to Panini for that one.
I just hate that the players are in there combine outfits, take a little time and photoshop some nfl logos on the college jerseys, that would make the rookies in this set much more collectible IMO.
Overall, for a first of the year product, I give it a B-. Will probably pick up another box or 2 of it before the good stuff starts coming out.
