I've got most of it scanned in and with list each case seperately over the next 3 days on this thread.DESCENT BREAK
The first 8-box case was probably the best. Other than a single box, the 2nd case was by far one of the worst I've seen.
My biggest criticism of the boxes and Panini....the collating was not very good. In 24 boxes in the entire case, I could not put together one complete set of base cards (I was shy by 3 cards from completing one...in 24 boxes???). Also, I had 4 base rookie cards of one player in a single 8 box case.
There were a lot of redemptions but I was not shorted any hits in all boxes.
Comments are certainly welcome. I only ask that there are not a lot of comments about the cost. We all know with Panini you don't get what you put into it. I knew that going in. The hits only are listed and in my photobucket.
Case 1
Box 1:
Ryan Mallett SOMB patch 17/250
Philip Rivers Mirror Gold 4-color Prime Patch 1/25
Garo Yepremian FOTG patch 19/25
Jerrel Jernigan Freshman Fabric 185/499
Box 2:
Shane Vereen Freshman Fabric redemption
Matt Cassel Miror Gold Prime Patch 25/25
Alex Green Patch 240/250
Adrian Clayborn New Generation Red auto 151/250

Im just so confused on what to buy.. I was thinking really hard about certified but according you. you feel shamed. If not this product what would you recommend?Not so much shamed as disappointed. The design of the Freshman Fabric set took a step back this year. If it wasn't for the on-card autos, I would have avoided it entirely. I've done that set the last 3 years. I decided to switch to the Fabric of the Game Prime auto set instead because it has a nice mix of rookies, veterans, and legends....even with sticker autos. I also had to wait for almost 2 weeks after the product was released due to Panini dictating when the on line distributors can sell and for how much. I think the best chance for less disappointment is with singles or cases vs boxes. That being said, I'm considering a product like Topps Precision looks like a winner! And now.......

The Hankerson Gold is a great card, even though the player could use some upgrading. Also like the Hunter Blue.
I like cards serial numbered 34/xx

Box four really wasn't a bad box I would have been happy with it and even box one was decent but five and six wow that's rough someone needs to do a better job putting those two together. Still a nice looking case IMO with two boxes to go Tyson Jackson Total Cards - 469/638 - 74 % Autos - 164/249 - 66 % Mems - 221/280 - 79 % RC - 38/38 - 100 % 1/1s - 21 Total Tyson Jackson Cards Including Dupes 641

And there's my 2 favorite cards of the first 2 cases Derrick Thomas and Anquan Boldin. The Thomas may not be much on color but for chiefs guys like you and I that's just a special card regardless. The Boldin is just craziness awesome pull on it. That whole box and really last 2 boxes made the case IMO
