Paid off my humongous tab at the LCS...so to celebrate, of course, I went on another spending spree...this time, I somehow ended up doing 2 cases of National Treasures...Here's the two huge hits I got (one is already sold after being up for all of 15 minutes...the other is still up on the bay). <br>
<br>
Problem with both of them (and you can't see from the scan) is that the top corners of the patch area, are bent and creased. I think Panini didn't think about the fact that if you have such a thick card, if you are only putting in a thin piece of jersey/patch, your card will bend and eventually crease...In fact, I've got 2 other RPAs that have the same problem, and I had to discount an Andrew Luck RPA out of the football product because of the same reason. I'm sure the winners of my auctions will try to send it back to Panini for an exchange...and I'm sure they'll get these because they're pretty bad, but I am still happy to have pulled both of these:
