Is Crown Royale Hobby out? I heard it was delayed for another month. I think this may be Crown Royale retail.

Decent hits from a rough product. The Green is nice, too!

Rough or not, I just love the look of Crown Royale every year. I don't know what it is, but I can't help myself but buy a few every year, hahaha

According to the Panini website released today - way after the retail. and Crown Royale Retail was about as rough as can be.
Thinking of stopping by the LCS for a box tonight, but that was a pretty brutal break

Crown Royale Retail was absolute junk. I picked one up last weekend and it's just cheap crap. 76 Base cards and a couple poorly designed cheap looking inserts. Nothing numbered or anything close to being decent.
...As for the break, it doesn't look too bad. The Pead is pretty cool looking.

I'm pretty much done buying retail products from Panini - maybe some Contenders if they still have an guaranteed auto and are still using the same inserts as the Hobby boxes, but their retail stuff is all horrible In fact, some of it seems to be downright fraudulent in telling people to look for autographs of veteran players who the list of potential cards inserted into the packs do not show any veteran autograph sets (see also Panini's retail Americana Heroes and Legends wher ethe box says one Auto or Memorabilia per pack but the retail packs do not list any auto sets as possibly inserted items)

I bought the stuff with the thought that the cards would have that crown die-cut look as I'm used to with Crown Royale. Instead they were dull regular sized cards. I've NEVER seen Crown Royale look like that.

Pulled the same Fitz today. I was pleased with some of the prime I got but I also went through 5 boxes.
