I’m curious to know what the print runs of these cards will be. Hopefully Panini won’t overdo it.

Panini needs to make up for the Magic Johnson/Jordan Swaggerty Sticker Auto problem and include a Larry Bird Auto on all Archie Bradley cards.

too funny……both comments I just read on here (Panini make up for mistakes & Panini not overdo it on production !! Whats next ??? Tall buildings in New York City ???? )

explain to me, yes….Im the slow guy-who cant do math quick enough…..unlike the guys at Beckett who get all the hot chicks !! , how different this edition is of EEE…..from the other years ? What exactly does half an MLB liscense do for these sets ??

and BTW…..the 2007 exchange card numbers are still incorrect for the ‘exchanged’ card numbers (if I need to drag out, again, the cards I received back from Donruss- I can) in the OPG

There will be current MLB players in the product along with the prospects. That can’t happen en masse without an MLBPA license.

if any Panini people are reading these comments (like the one person, whose name escapes me right now)……I believe that serial numbering all autographed cards, , in base sets specifically……is something that should be resumed !!

thanks :-)

thanks Chris

the name that escapes me is…..the person who use to work here, at Beckett

serial numbering of base set autographed prospects & RC’s…..in EEE and in playoff contenders FB…,..is a good idea ……..to me anyways

why is it ok for super moderators (and obviously thats not you Chris) to pretty much threaten people who use the services of beckett.com (like myself……A LONG TIME SUBSCRIBER to the OPG’s……even through the ‘tough’ times-when these OPG’s were not the easiest to utilize) ??

99 percent sure these are cards that simply have not been numbered yet. (smudged/damaged autos get thrown out)

if panini has a license, why is it that the cards shown above are either minor league uniforms or do not have major league logos on them? shouldn’t they be able to include that? minor league uniforms tend to bring the value down and a lot of collectors wouldn’t accept those as rookie cards…just sayin’ is all

High school unis or airbrushed college/minors are all that can be used. MLB, MiLB, USA, NCAA unis are not allowed as those rights are locked up in other deals.

They’re not RCs anyway because of the type of product, though with some MLB veterans on the checklist (which is what an MLBPA license allows) it may lean more toward a product getting RC tag designations — I’ll leave that one to the price guide crew.

Panini does not have a full license. They have a license with the MLBPA only. This allows them tio use photos of current players as well as their names. However, MLB own the rights to all team logos and trademarks, and Panini does not have a license with them. That is why you don’t see any team names or logos.
