Design is well done, love the layout and the placement of the autos. I would buy this product in the future if it had MLB logos but in it’s current form, I will have to pass.

You’re right, Chris. Unfortunately, the almighty dollar speaks louder than I do!

I think your sentiment is better directed at MLB, Extremely.

How many times do card companies have to try to put out sets of players with no logos and Photoshopped uniforms before they realize collectors HATE this??? EEE WAS my favorite set. I loved seeing the players in their college and high school uniforms. Congratulations Panini, you’ve created the high-end equivalent of an early 2000′s Royal Rookies set!!!

For as much as I liked 2011 Elite Football, this design is really boring to me. It seems to be the same as every other version of EEE that has ever come out. And while that might not necessarily be considered a bad thing, and while the glossy effect is nice (and I really do like it), I’m just not excited about this product.

Of course, not being much of a Prospect hunter/collector, this set really has little value to me, so maybe my opinion is slanted by that fact…but seeing Ichiro’s back does not make me want to run out and plop any cash down for a box…

So, will this version have no-name Basketball autos in it, too? (I know I have at least one EEE Auto that is basketball from a few years ago). More importantly, will there be Autos of the 25 Vets?

Again, from a prospecting side, six autos per box is pretty nice, but I am staying away.

Wanting to see baseball players in their baseball uniforms is not a knee-jerk reaction–it is a normal expectation by baseball card collectors. This set will not succeed because collectors don’t want to see players in logoless uniforms on cards with abstract backgrounds. I hope Panini never gets a full baseball license so they can’t litter the market with their dozens of below-average card designs.

looks the same as every year. I think it is a good product for the prospect collectors. I do wanted if it would cost more with the mlb logos or are the companies just keeping the cash they saved on not having it to themselves?

Lots of things to like about this set BUT…..NO MLB LOGOS! Kudos aside, no logos reminds me of all of the “food issue” cards of the 80′s & even the 2010 UD Baseball set. I may buy some singles here and there, but no packs/boxes.
