I’m pretty happy with what I pulled from the 2011 Playoff Contenders box:

The lack of logos are noticeable, so it’s something they should eventually address with MLB (if they can, MLB has to go along with it).

But for now some competition with Topps is a good thing.

No logos, means its a nogoes!

* “The trading cards we make utilizing this license will no doubt be Hall of Fame worthy.”

Not if they make 6 ‘different’ sets from it. Is that at all neccessary? 1 each of low-end/mid-grade/high-end sets would be more than sufficent.

* “Their creativity and innovation are second to none, and we’re eager to see the new product releases for the coming year.”

REALLY? Has anyone at the MLB HOF&M actually looked at recent Panini designs?!!!

Without an actual MLB license, Panini will get no money from me for ANY Baseball products. The team names and logos are what makes them MLB cards, to me.
I DO hope this forces Topps to do a better job with their exclusive license than they have so far, but I am not holding my breath waiting to see the MLB card hobby revitalized by this.

Can we expect redemptions on the cut autos? We are talking about panini here.

I like that Brooklyn Dodger logo on Jackie Robinson’s hat. Oh wait…

Go away, Panini.

Yay! Just what the hobby needed … Hall of Famers with airbrushed photos to obscure any logos.

Prime Cuts was what a lot of people looked forward to when Donruss was around. A great product, albeit with high risk accompanying it. I must say some of the hits were awesome. Let’s hope Panini does a good enough job without too many redemptions. On a side note, why is there a redemption in 90% of the Limited Football product? You have rookie shoots during camp, why not have the player sit down and sign. At least Topps does that during their rookie photo shoot.

If you can judge the quality of the product by one card, it will be totally awesome. I hope it would be affordable and I am happy we have a new major player in the hobby.
