Anyone buying boxes with intentions of reselling just got a kick in the junk. Rookies are usually the best hope in each box to flip for money or other cards. No rookies will drastically reduce the worth of the box contents.

I am not buying but I don't think that they would be getting a kick in the junk. Wise sellers tend to manipulate buyers into spending more with the pretty listings they put up. True collectors are the one who will ultimately suffer from this.

Do you think people will look at the RCs in SP Authentic then as the only true RCs even though they are in college unis?

People will look at them as the first cards but not as the True Rookie Cards. People will also spend money on them because they want something that Panini can't offer right now. Honestly, I thought that the dual rookie redemption will be true rookie cards and will be put out (when redeemed) this season (2011-12) or this year (2012).

More redemptions. Since panini does such a great job getting players to sign and getting the cards to the consumer in a timely fashion it totally makes sense. Oh wait, they don't.

This is true, about 99.99%!

So so sad. I don't know how they can justify this move. I hope we can get more exclusives in basketball, because I have yet to buy a box of anything from Panini. All of my stuff is off the secondary market. This doesn't make me angry, it just saddens me to see what value is placed on the sport I love. Football doesn't have this problem. IJS

This fact (no base rookies) was known from the beginning of the season. There will be rookie redemptions for both 2011-12 and 2012-13 rookies in the last product or two for this year (certified and gold standard I believe) - this has been known for a while now.

Thanks Taffster.

Thanks for the info. I don't follow Panini that much to know, lol.
