New redemption replacement product for basketball (I have to say that this is better than the one for football since they have numbered parallels and it is Donruss Optic which is a much better product than Mosaic)

Probably end up with these instead of the redemption and damage replacement I am waiting on.

Absolute Football was up at the Panini website for $714.95 a box - somehow it sold out at that price - yikes!

The focus on online breakers has been so great for the hobby!

[rjcj2017]

But at least they make up for it by giving the breakers all the good hits.

"Here, bust open this not so random box ..."

Not with the breakers I use!!!

I won't be doing much more the way things have been.

Does Panini do that?  Because Fanatics definitely does - they even made it official by creating "Breaker's Choice" boxes that remove all of those pesky base cards and have better odds at pulling good cards

Panini spawned the Doosh Bag Network ... I wouldn't put it past them.

Then again, most of their boxes are such horrible return across the board, maybe they don't.

I saw some extremely brutal breaks of the new Absolute football - 15 cards for $700

One guy's hits were a Quentin Johnston jersey card, a dual DJ Moore/Justin Fields patch card and a Joe Klecko sticker auto.

Again ... for $700 ... for $50 worth of hits if I'm being generous on "comps"

(Comps = The DBN's new favorite word)

Prices are unreal. I finally got word back from panini about my 2021 Redemption Jaelon Phillips purple stars auto....... either a pack of NFL or NBA sparkle prizm from 2022. Of course I chose the NFL....here's hoping for an Olave or G. Wilson.

As long as people keep paying these ludicrous prices for stuff, Panini is going to keep charging them.

$750 to $250 for 4 cards? LOL! Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the DBN
